On Bloomberg this morning, their European reporters indicated in Germany has a large anti-vax

anti-Science movement equivalent to the US, and they speculate would be politically difficult fo implement a vaccine mandate in Germany. Austria has their anti-vaxers also, but not as extreme as Germany

For the US health experts believe that it will be the boosters that will protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated, but those unvaccinated who get the virus could use up hospital resources

The anti-science and anti-Vaxer population are keeping responsible for keeping the pandemic going

Germany is only about 62% fully vaxed.

No wonder it is blowing up.

like they do Der orange Fuhrer. And since it hits the marketplace with a Democrat in the
White House, FQX noise will probably badmouth the pill. Don't need a pill for a hoax.

5. Maybe short term deaths...long Covid?

The pills and various treatment options may slow immediate deaths, but what effect will they have on long Covid symptoms? We know Covid attacks tissues all over the body-- kidney, brain, lungs, blood vessels, and so on.

The pills may prevent short term trips to ventilator and quick trips to the morgue, but only preventing spread can we avoid long Covid problems.
