Here's an alternative to vaccine industry - though i doubt it will get the same mega-support from politicians and science experts.

"An antiviral product used to ensure safe sex is being deployed to fight COVID-19 in Europe - except it will be sprayed up noses instead of on condoms."

"Dr Fairley said the spray stops infection when applied to cells before and after exposure to the virus... and lasts about six to eight hours before needing to be reapplied."

"John Shine, president of the Australian Academy of Science and former CSL chairman, said such products were needed, given vaccines did not prevent transmission of COVID-19.

“Vaccinated individuals will be protected from the worst of COVID-19 but will not be protected from becoming infected,” Professor Shine said. “None of the vaccines that have been approved for use have demonstrated that they can stop transmission.”"
