It has been obvious from the beginning. In a true pandemic there would not be a ban placed on medications that could prevent and cure the virus! MD licenses would never be threatened in a pandemic! Every major city would have field hospitals set up and ready ( and would be utilized to treat other illnesses, reserving hospital beds for the pandemic patients). One huge lie was that the virus could be transmitted from someone with no symptoms. It is well known that handwashing is the most effective way to prevent the spread of disease. Masks are ineffective.
