It used to be called a “cold”, one stayed in bed for a day or two, and drank a lot of orange juice.
Paxlovid?! Ever read the potential side effects and drug interactions of that crap?
PROVE it. Then prove that any more than .5% of the population (if that) even has any benefit to be gained by taking it.
....unless you want to gin up the fear epidemic.
Yawn. Just ignore all the melodrama and let’s all get on with our lives as free Americans.
How many of these cases are illegal aliens?
Yup.
This guy totally sold out to big pharma. used to like him years ago when I actually watched fox, but heard him recently on the radio spewing the cdc talking points on covid. Disgusting.

“We have a simple message to all countries - test, test, test,” WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a news conference in Geneva, calling the pandemic “the defining global health crisis of our time”.This was coupled with news a little further on in time:Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-healthcare-coronavirus-who/test-test-test-who-chiefs-coronavirus-message-to-world-idUSKBN2132S4
"...a record 493 new billionaires joined the list this year, propelled by a red-hot stock market and unprecedented economic stimulus. Among those newcomers are at least 40 new entrants who draw their fortunes from companies involved in fighting Covid-19. Some, such as Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel and BioNTech cofounder Uğur Şahin, have become household names thanks to the vaccines they helped develop. Others got rich making everything from personal protective equipment and diagnostic tests to antibody treatments and software that helps authorities schedule vaccination campaigns, which will be essential in reopening economies and returning to normal life.""Stop with the damn testing?" Then very few indeed will be found to be actually sick, and the scheme collapses.Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/giacomotognini/2021/04/06/meet-the-40-new-billionaires-who-got-rich-fighting-covid-19/?sh=34aae14817e5
