Only the wealthy will get treatment.
Eventually.
That’s my guess.
Gubmint payer notwithstanding.

An Olympic sprinter says she is “upset” at being diagnosed with a rare heart condition after getting her Pfizer booster shot.
Swiss athlete Sarah Atcho, who competed in the four-by-100 metres relay at the 2016 Brazil Olympics, revealed in an Instagram post to her 22,000 followers this week that she had been diagnosed with pericarditis, or inflammation of the lining around the heart...
The 26-year-old said she received her booster on December 22 “because I didn’t want to struggle with this when the season started”.
“I was told that it was safer to get Pfizer to avoid cardiac side effects,” she wrote.
“On December 27 I felt a tightness in the chest and started feeling dizzy while walking up the stairs. This happened a few more times until I decided to check with a cardiologist who diagnosed me with pericarditis (inflammation of the thin membrane surrounding the heart). I am now not allowed to get my heart rate up for a few weeks to allow my heart to rest and heal from the inflammation.”...
Last month, former Aussie basketballer Ben Madgen also revealed he had been hospitalised with pericarditis after his second Pfizer shot...
It comes after Australia’s medicines regulator last week confirmed the first cases of myocarditis and pericarditis after boosters.
As of January 9, there have been six reports of likely myocarditis – four after Pfizer and two after Moderna – and 12 reports of likely pericarditis – 10 after Pfizer and two after Moderna – after a third or booster dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, according to the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s (TGA) weekly safety update.
“The TGA is monitoring the safety of booster vaccine doses in adults,” the regulator said...
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews on Wednesday warned boosters would soon become mandatory more widely, saying they were not an “optional extra”.
“This is not an option, not an add-on, not a ‘good thing to have’,” he told reporters.
“I think we’re close to a change in policy that will simply reflect the fact that in order to be fully protected you need three doses, not two plus an optional extra.”
Mr Andrews said on Thursday he would be pushing national cabinet to change the definition of fully vaccinated.
“This is a three-dose project,” he said. “To be properly protected, you need three doses. That is what the experts tell us and what I expect national cabinet to reflect today.”
Earlier this week, Israeli researchers said preliminary data from more than 270 medical workers showed even a fourth dose was “not good enough” to prevent Omicron...
Meanwhile, a South African study published in The Lancet on Tuesday concluded that booster shots of mRNA vaccines failed to block Omicron...
Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla last week said two doses of its current Covid-19 vaccine offer “very limited protection, if any” against Omicron, while three doses “offer reasonable protection against hospitalisation and deaths”...

It’s still a cold.
That’s what corona viruses cause.
Most of the deaths were deliberate by the government and medical community.
“Rare”?
Not any more.
