It wasn’t until April 2021 that the National Institutes of Health announced it would fund a large clinical trial to study repurposed drugs. For the first nine months of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no officially approved outpatient treatments for combating the disease.

Allegations that “masks work” and “don’t cause harm” have been enforced by governments and corporations around the world for more than 18 months through arrests, firings, censorship, fines, and denial of access to schools, supermarkets, hospitals, streets, and other public spaces.

Republicans in Congress folded like a deck of cards in the face of the pandemic and they are still behind the ball. “The political elite have changed their tune” is about as self-evident a truth as single men in possession of large fortunes wanting wives.

For nearly 100 million American workers waiting breathlessly for an answer, a Thursday Supreme Court decision delivered good news for many, although not all.
