Commentary
Since the arrival of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in Canada, the provinces and the federal government have deployed a host of health measures to control the declared pandemic (confinements, masks, social distancing, curfews, etc.). State control has also manifested itself in the systematic denigration of early treatments with generic molecules proven safe and effective to pave the way for the preferred pharma solution of genetic vaccines, the efficacy and safety of which are questionable to say the least.
