Speaking of Covid, here's a clinical trial using a cocktail of low cost, readily available therapies (MATH+) given to various stage hospitalized Covid-19 patients.

"The average hospital mortality at these 2 centers in over 300 patients treated is 5.1%, which represents more than a 75% absolute risk reduction in mortality compared to the average published hospital mortality of 22.9% among COVID-19 patients."
Of course the MSM has been dead silent about this. Gotta push those expensive vaccines.
The vaccines aren't expensive. Once you're in a Western hospital you're already costing thousands so if there was an efficient treatment it would be used, price is secondary.
If this course of treatment is really useful then it will be used.
The vaccines aren't probably expensive themselves (though I've heard some hefty prices being called per shot - also it should be noted that customers are not allowed to discuss pricing), but development in shortest time has been. Politics owes these companies now.
And politics always said the solution to this problem is a vaccine, how can they change their opinion now suddenly?
I've read a similar article recently in a local (quite reputable) newspaper (but can't dig up the source, sorry tried hard).
Basically a doc treating Covid patients said some combo of older drugs can even be sent to the sick by post with an oxygen meter so the patient can basically treat himself according to a simple manual (if blood oxygen goes below this, take this for this long etc.). They used this combination in hospital successfully but nobody wants to approve those drugs for use against Covid.
I smell certainly the stink of competing interests. Ask yourself, who should pay for the approval if the drugs in question are dirt cheap?
Billions have been invested in these vaccines, it would be shame to have them go to waste only because some cheap old drug combinations are effective.
I for one won't be getting this shot in the near future, I'll rather stay hunkered down for one or two years more and watch how things develop. But I am very thankful for those trying
Contergan,
Pandemrix, Covid vaccine.
