You do realise it has been on the WHO's list of most essential human drugs for decades and won the Nobel Prize in 2015?

We've known here about it since early 2000, but chose to run with 'we're thinking about starting up a trial that will start in 2024 and run to 2028' (terrific the sense of urgency)
There's also an earlier study - kills 99.98% in vitro - couldn't find it just now.

You guys sure love the koolaid.
Israel - kaboom.
Three jabs now mandated....by early 2023 the 4th....notice a pattern?
Not getting it yet kids? (wondering why case numbers are exploding in Oz?)
As you rightly point out Israel is proof that while vaccinations reduce the severity of Delta they do stuff all reducing transmission, in fact they may even accelerate transmission.
Therefore Dan dangling the carrot again saying relaxing of rules will occur once get to 70-80% vaccinated is absolute BS.
This strain cant be contained even with stringent lockdowns such as we have had. Until our leaders accept that we must live with this and stop focusing on fear mongering 'case numbers' we will lose more young lives to suicide then we ever will lose to Delta (2 deaths in Victoria in last 10 months).
