1. according to the link you sent, the treatment stops the spread... once again, call it whatever you want — a vaccine, treatment, panacea or poison — if it reduces the risk, severity, and rapidness [1][2] (and thus reducing the number of people who get sick, get sick at the same time, and die), it's neat

2. I don't care if you take it — nor I even would, if it would be a "real vaccine" — I care that you discourage people from taking it. analogy: I don't care that you drive without seatbelt, but if you discourage people using it, saying that science is wrong about its safety, I'll argue with you.

3. Efficacy wanes over time indeed, but can be maintained with boosters [3]. Still, ain't that important if you use 'em, because you still drop your chances to die 11x just with the "treatment", and booster does not make a huge difference [4]



4. This is the first serious argument so far — without insisting fake data about vaccines, you ask, is it worthy to be healthy by depending on drugs or (big) capitalism. I shall think about it.

P.S. By the way, did you know that authoritarian governments manipulated with the COVID data? Yet, not in the way you would think... They actually *downplayed* the significance of the problem for the sake of economic advantages: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2007.09566
