Well, this is embarrassing. A few days ago, I wrote an article called “Tylenol COVID+Flu”. I said that something like “Tylenol COVID+Flu” would be useful for alleviating some of the symptoms of COVID-19.
And, since many of the symptoms of COVID-19 are the same symptoms one might have with the flu, all it would take is a packaging change and “Tylenol Cold+Flu” could be marketed as “Tylenol COVID+Flu”.
In the article, I described how Johnson & Johnson, the maker of Tylenol, was missing a huge opportunity by not selling a non-prescription drug to help lessen the symptoms of COVID-19.
I further went on to explain that a lot of money could be made by marketing a product that doesn’t promise to cure the disease, nor make it less contagious, but instead claims to merely reduce its symptoms.
Of course, the downside of having people well enough to go about their business while being contagious is that they can still infect others.
My final point was that J&J is slated to make nearly $3 Billion on their COVID-19 vackseen in 2021 while they only make around 1/10 of that amount selling the entire Tylenol line of products and that was probably why they’re not going to market with a lesser-expensive solution.
OK. I wasn’t wrong about any of that. But I was wrong about something else. I implied that there were no non-prescription drugs available that would help alleviate symptoms of COVID-19.
My article was written somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but I was wrong. And when I’m wrong, I like to think that I’m big enough to admit it.
It turns out that there are already non-prescription drugs available in the United States that will lessen the symptoms of COVID-19 but not actually cure it or make you less contagious.
Those three are: JNJ-78436735 from Johnson and Johnson, mRNA-1273 from Moderna and BNT162b2 from Pfizer.
Yup. The three non-prescription products that would have to compete against a less-profitable, but likely just as effective, non-prescription drug are the COVID-19 vackseens.
None of the drug makers claim that their vackseen will stop you from getting the disease. And none of them claim that their drug will make you any less contagious. Which is a good thing because their drugs don’t do either one of those things. That’s the reason we’re seeing infection rates on the rise and mask mandates being imposed once again.
The only claim being made by J&J, Moderna and Pfizer is that their drugs will help you feel less sick than you would without them. Just like “Tylenol COVID+Flu”. If it existed. Except with “Tylenol COVID+Flu”, you’d get the same results without any of the risks of…you know…heart problems, brain fuzz, blood clots, lethargy and death.
If they’re not going to market a less-risky alternative to their vackseens, then I’d like to see them at least educate the public about what their products really do. Because right now, people here “vaccine” and think it’s the solution to everything. But it’s not.
Educating the public is easily enough done. They can do it with a catchy slogan. Lucky for them I’ve already come up with one and I’m willing to let them use it for free.
“COVID-19 Vackseen – The sniffling, sneezing, aching, coughing, stuffy-head, fever so you can infect others medicine.”
Did you know I publish a new article several times a week? I’ve started getting noticed by Social Media (particularly FB). Which, as you know, for a Conservative is never a good thing. If you linked here from FB, I highly recommend you sign up for my newsletter. That way you won’t miss anything when they censor what I write.
