There are two classes of tools, the Good Tools and the Bad Tools. Vaccines, boosters, masks, social distancing and isolating when sick are The Good Tools. Those are indeed good tools.

“SCOOP: The FDA is set to authorize the Covid-19 treatment pills from *both* Pfizer and Merck. An announcement is expected this week. It would open up two significant treatment options for severe cases. A big milestone.”
