Conventional medicine offers us a dream....
- Do what you like.
- Lead your life in whatever way you wish
- You can even damage your own health.
....but when you get ill we will have a drug for you that makes you better.
So when coronavirus COVID-19 strikes - don't worry - we will kill the germ - we will develop a vaccine (and we have told you about how safe and effective they are). Whatever happens we will keep you safe. We might have to introduce some really ludicrous social policies. We might need to destroy the economy, and your livelihood with it. But we will keep you safe; just stay in self isolation, don't see your friends and family - and remember to wash your hands regularly.
All you need to know is that you will be safe, but only if you take our drugs. Side effects? Don't worry about them, we will have drugs to deal with them too. More side effects Don't worry there will be more drugs to deal with them too. There is no need for you to worry about anything.
Even if your heart, your liver, your kidneys, or other organs break down because of your lifestyle choices, or because of adverse drug reactions, don't worry. We will give you a transplant, a nice new organ. Aren't we wonderful? And there is nothing you have to do, just leave it all to us.
And please don't worry about joint pain either. Just take painkillers. We know they only work for a short time, and you will need to take more and more; and then stronger and more toxic painkillers. But in the end we can always replace your limbs.
So why do you ask about the immune system? You don't need it. You have probably damaged it anyway; you really should have exercised more, improved your diet, stopped smoking; but don't worry about it. And anyway, after taking all those drugs your immune system might not protect you anyway.
Indeed it might 'turn in' on itself, you might contract an autoimmune disease - there are so many people suffering from these diseases now - don't know why. Just unfortunate. It's the fault of the immune system. But don't worry, we can turn your immune system off with more drugs, immunosuppressant drugs.
Of course, with no immune system, you might go down with every infection that is going around. Like coronavirus COVID-19, for instance. There is no treatment for that, but we will be developing a vaccine - so no need to worry.
Just withdraw from society
isolate yourself
stop seeing anyone that's important to you
lose your job
live in poverty
And don't forget - wash your hands
We will kill the virus for you
Your health is safe with us
you will be alright - trust us
