About this episode
Story at-a-glance A massive industry exists to prevent pandemics, but despite receiving billions each year, it routinely fails to prevent pandemics or provide viable ways to address those which emerge This industry rests upon the lie that viral diseases cannot be treated, when in reality there are many effective, over-the-counter and unpatentable treatments for viral illnesses The industry engages in cruel and unnecessary animal experimentation, which wastes billions each year and repeatedly creates the pandemics it is supposed to prevent due to how frequently lab leaks occur The "war against bird flu" highlights key issues within the pandemic prevention industry, where billions have now been spent killing over 100 million birds, yet all that has accomplished is raising egg prices This article explores how many forgotten therapies can treat both severe viral illnesses and rapidly address common conditions like colds and flus
