Wuhan virus 2020

[mapuc]

It was in the Swedish news some days ago, about people who had lost their immunity after some weeks or so.

Vaccine:

Let see if I can get this straight.

When we hear or read the word Vaccine, we probably think of syringes and liquid that a doctor injects into the body.

Maybe in this case, the Corona case it may be different.

Due to this short time immunity, we could end up with pills.

1-2 Pills per week or 1-2 pills every 14 days.

Then the question is, who shall have the right to these pills.

I do agree that such reportage is in very poor taste, even more so when it has the potential to tragically affect lives; particularly of those who may be taken in by such charlatanism...

God, wouldn't it be just horrible if something mentioned on OAN turned out to beneficial. The horror!

I do want to point out Fox News does make note of edits in their initial reportage in later iterations, but, far more often than not, they do not specify the nature of the edit/retraction; where, say, CNN will put at the end of their articles something like "EDIT: the name of the quoted source was mistakenly reported and has been changed" along with the specifics of the change/deletion, Fox News simply puts something like "Edit made to original article 07/13/2020" with no specifics as to what has been changed or omitted; I guess its easier to give the impression of accuracy if you don't acknowledge your mistakes, particularly glaring ones...

Oh. I'm sure OAN has done beneficial reportage before; every dog has its day...

Oh, wait, do you mean beneficial in general, to the broader public, or beneficial to a niche, or, perhaps, beneficial to a certain individual who, himself, is no paragon of honesty, accuracy, or truth...

I tend to look at reportage as a sort of LCD situation: strip away all the rhetoric, establish the knowable, provable fact(s), and deal with that core information as what to think about and consider...



If I'm having car trouble, and one mechanic blames the problem on my not driving a Ford, and a second mechanic blames the problem on my not driving a Chevy, I think I'll take the advice of the guy who simply tells me something like "Your car needs a front end realignment..."...

If it is up to the USA Health care system, only those who can afford to pay the $500.00 per pill price.

I wasn't exactly thinking on USA only, but the entire world.

You are right though, the price per pill would be sky high
