HOMEHEALTH NEWS New Banana-Derived Therapy Is Effective Against All Known Coronaviruses and Flu Strains

[placeholder]

A study published on January 13th, 2020 touted the development of a potential therapy that may be used to fight all known strains of the flu.

One week later, the first laboratory-confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 triggered the two-and-a-half-year-long COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

Interestingly, the worldwide research team behind the influenza report had also looked into the treatment of coronaviruses before the virus that temporarily halted their work arrived.

The article is a bit confusingly written. It's actually based on research published in 2022. Here's a link to that research:

Every government in the world diverted billions of dollars to Covid reserach in 2020

 

If this idea had any merit, it would have been funded

 

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is

First off, as the article states, the research was delayed due to covid 19. So it doesn't seem the results would even have been available.

Second, there's an awful lot of research out there. How do you that everything gets funded? That nothing gets rejected? You work for one of the organizations that decides who gets funded? You don't really know anything about the specifics of how this works.

This whole thing could have worked out so differently.

 

Pharmacies around the world singing:

 

' Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today.

Actually, that describes the current situation.

I didn't say everything got funded.

 

Read what I wrote - I said every government diverted billions to Covid research.

 

Many, many research scientists working on anything even remotely resembing infectious diseases, virology, etc, got diverted to doing Covid stuff. All sorts of things got funding that would not normally get funding.

 

So if there was a magical banana drug with even partially completed tests/trials, etc, it would probably have got funding if it had even a little merit.

 

<<<You don't really know anything about the specifics of how this works.>>>

 

Yes I do have some experience in the drug research field, and a close family member was one of those diverted scientists.
