Add me to the list of people who think it would be great if American science could eventually produce a pill that would reduce the risk of hospitalization and/or death from CV-19. Even that might not get the trump lumps on board. If we ever reach a point at which only Trumplican refusal rats are dying from the virus and its variants, we could accept that maybe there really is something like god's plan for mankind.
Occasionally I need a reminder that media organizations like newspapers and TV news networks depend on public panic to survive. People whose minds are at ease are less likely to constantly consume their product, so media organizations stay profitable by creating insecurity, uncertainty, depression or rage. Ironically, some minor problems are exaggerated, while some serious ones are practically ignored. A classic example would be Hillary's email (exaggerated) vs the former guy's subservience to Russia (largely ignored when it mattered most).
