The problem is our government cannot be trusted with money, nor do they understand the concept of fiscal management! VAT was started for the sole purpose of paying down the national debt, but that never happened. By now government should have implemented a national lottery to aid social services, education and to assist in paying down the national debt as well (considering the social burden of gambling, the proceeds of gaming should not be flowing into the coffers of a few men). The problem is the more money they have, the more money will be wasted and misappropriated.
... thanks for that update doc. Many doctors and patients (that is people who had symptoms and recovered) globally have said otherwise! Doctors in India and other places have been using it prophylactically as has the president of the most powerful country in the free world! But what do they know compared to you!
... we haven't tackled corruption, crime, education, illegal immigration, single parent homes, the lack of independence of the judiciary, diversification of the economy etc either. Covid is NOT our most pressing national issue!!
... the drug is not the problem since people have been on it for decades with no issues. HIGH doses of the drug is a problem and lots of hospitals have been using high doses. High doses = increased risk of side effects!
These individuals who have been verifiable failures in public life should not be heading up government entities. We can and must do much better than this!
