I have a brilliant money making idea

[Retired Engineer Bob]

Notice to potential government monitoring, this is a twisted attempt at humor, never intended to be implemented. An exercise in in satire only.

I recall hearing about some parents that would organize chickenpox parties for their children. Kids that had chickenpox would be given lollipops and consume for a period. The partially eaten lollipops would then be packaged for delivery to other folks that would bring their kids to the chickenpox parties. The kids at the party would pass around the lollipops amongst themselves to ensure infection. I guess the idea was to “get the problem over with”.

Tens of millions of folks will never get the vaccine out of fear that it will kill them. They also believe that “natural immunity” is the true method of protecting themselves. They firmly believe that COVID is 99.9 percent survivable, “it’s just the flu bro”, and a fear porn hoax. Many yearn to be infected with COVID to obtain natural immunity.

If a company could be set up to produce COVID en mass, it could be packaged in nasal sprayers and distributed over the Internet. Each sprayer would contain enough shots to infect 10 folks or so, and be sold at a price to ensure massive profits. 50 cents to produce, $200 to purchase. Millions of dollars could be realized.

There are issues of how to mass produce COVID, and how to ensure its viability during production and distribution. I suspect, unfortunately, these can be easily overcome.

Again, I am speculating the mindset of the anti vaxers, and good old fashioned greed of the likes of Alex Jones and others who would be happy to push such a thing. I understand if the moderators of this site pull this post.

1. There were some young men who got sick at deliberate covid parties early on, and they

admitted after getting very sick that they wished they had not been so stupid.

2. Use saline... They'll never notice the scam...

3. The liability for whatever company produces the nasal spray would be way too high

You need lab-like conditions to produce it, and keep the people safe who are involved in making it. It would be a major operation, with a ton of regulations involved. Then anyone who takes it, they (if they survive) and/or their families might sue you.

Basically nobody would make it even with the tremendous profit margin you imagine, not going to happen.

7. Don't be silly

The itiots that would spend $200 for this product have no concerns about lab-like conditions. If the spray were contaminated with fecal matter what the hell would it matter, the entire concept is to become infected.

4. One young person got covid, long haul symptoms and killed himself because

he could not stand the side effects of long haul covid.

5. I had a RWNJ tell me today that masks reduce your natural immunity

Evidently the answer to the disease isn’t vaccines with proven efficacy, but rather just the exposure to the active virus.

So yes there’s no shortage of people out there who really are just that fucking dum. As they say there’s really too pandemics we are living with. One is stupidity.

6. Please believe me, I have no intention of doing such an immoral and despicable thing

If I were a Christian it would land me in hell for an eternity. Either way, I suspect I would spend my retirement in jail.

I can see a Pat Robertson type, who previously pushed the silver toothpaste on his web site promoting such a thing to protect against COVID pushing such a thing. Don’t be surprised if it actually happens.
