The newest scamdemic?

From a midwestern doctor: “A massive industry exists to protect us from pandemics.
Unfortunately, this industry is largely a grift that receives billions for failed cures, routinely
suppresses competing therapies that could end pandemics, and frequently causes the
pandemics it is supposed to prevent.

This industry routinely engages in cruel and completely unnecessary animal experimentation
(which often then shapes the mentality of modern medical practices). Because of this, one
group has recently been able to shift this longstanding cruelty by connecting it to the immensely
wasteful spending which often accompanies that research.

The current “war against bird flu” embodies many of the major problems in the pandemic
prevention industry, as over the last few years we’ve spent billions of dollars killing over a
hundred million birds; but all this has accomplished is significantly raising the price of eggs.

While viruses are typically treated as “incurable” by modern medicine, many highly effective,
frequently over-the-counter, and unpatentable treatments exist for viral illnesses that have been
used for over a century (including for some of the most several and “incurable” ones).

Should you be interested in what these treatments are, you may go (for free) to

Actually Treat Colds and Flus”).
