There’s a huge push by governments and Big Pharma to get everyone vacksinated against COVID-19. The efforts continue even as evidence mounts indicating that the vackseens don’t really work as well as promised.
Unvacksinated people continue to get sick. Some die but many, many more recover on their own.
But that’s also true of fully-vacksinated people. The number of “breakthrough” cases is on the rise. The vackseens don’t seem to be very effective at stopping variants and fully-vacksinated people are still getting sick. Some die but many, many more recover on their own.
Regardless of whether or not you believe in the effectiveness of the COVID vackseens, we should all be able to agree on one basic fact:
For every person placed on a ventilator or in the morgue, there are tens of thousands of people who suffer quietly at home, get better on their own, and don’t require any medical treatment at all.
It’s important to note that there is no over the counter, at-home cure for COVID-19. Like the flu, you don’t treat the disease, you treat its symptoms. The goal is to make the infected person feel not quite as bad while their body fights off the infection.
Since many more people with the disease end up at home, and not the hospital, shouldn’t there be a massive public information campaign that provides information on home treatment? It seems to me like that would be pretty important for people to know. They’re really quick to tell people to “self-quarantine” but they there’s scarce information about what to do after that.
The information is out there, but you have to look for it. Did you know that if you think you have COVID-19, you shouldn’t take Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen or Aleve? I didn’t either. Not until just now.
The current working theory is that medicine containing NSAIDs (that’s nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can extend or worsen COVID-19 symptoms.
The recommended drug? Tylenol.
Hmm. I smell a marketing opportunity.
Many of the symptoms of COVID-19 are the same as the symptoms of the flu. According to the CDC, the common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, body aches, headache, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea/vomiting and diarrhea. Shortness of breath is listed only as a COVID-19 symptom, but I’ve had the flu many times and shortness of breath is definitely one of its symptoms.
Since most of the symptoms are exactly the same (with the possible exception of loss of smell), it seems to reason that the exact same product that helps alleviate symptoms of the flu would also help reduce symptoms of COVID-19.
The packaging for Tylenol Cold+Flu only promises “relief of cold, flu, fever, cough and congestion symptoms”. They’re not promising a cure for the cold or the flu. They’re just promising to make the symptoms less severe. So, why don’t they sell Tylenol COVID+Flu?
It’s been more than a year and a half since this all started. Wouldn’t you think that by now the makers of Tylenol would have made a packaging change touting their effectiveness at relieving COVID-19 symptoms? They don’t need to do any research and they don’t need to create an experimental drug. They only need to change the label on one of their existing products. “Tylenol COVID+Flu” would cost them absolutely nothing to develop.
So why haven’t they?
My theory? Over the counter treatments aren’t being promoted because that implies hope. And, if people have hope, they’re not going to be quite as afraid of COVID-19. And if people are less afraid of COVID-19, they’re less likely to allow themselves to be injected with an experimental drug. An experimental drug that is, essentially, a cash cow.
Oh yeah. There’s one more thing.
Tylenol was developed by McNeil Consumer Products, Co, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.
While sales figures aren’t disclosed, industry experts estimate that Johnson & Johnson sells about $300 million in Tylenol every year. Johnson & Johnson is predicting 2021 revenues for their COVID-19 vackseen to be nearly 10 times that.
I’m going to leave it up to you to connect the dots.
