Because that might tend to solve the problem and we can’t have that 🤪
There WAS, and there has been massive effort in therapeutics, but antivirals are much, much more difficult and expensive to develop than vaccines. Vaccines by comparison are child’s play.

Thousands of existing drugs have been evaluated in silico, hundreds in vitro and many in vivo. Only a handful actually have any effect in humans. Much of the translational drugs pharmaceutical industry is working on this and has been since early 2020.
Hopefully, SARS-CoV2 will give governments more incentive to increase research on antiviral drugs. It’s no coincidence that HIV has far more antiviral therapeutics than any other virus. It’s because the therapeutics are a long term treatment that will make lots of money as long as the patients live, meaning hundreds, or even thousands of dollars a month per patient. An antiviral for COVID would be a single course, so not profitable considering the difficulty and low success rate of antiviral drug discovery.
I’ll tell you what DID go into warp speed - the denial of any easy simple treatment, that if undertaken early, stopped the progression of COVID-19 Wuhan virus in its tracks.
The ingestion of elemental zinc as the Zn++ ion, in zinc gluconate, at the level of 25mg to 50mg daily, which is well above the commonly accepted Minimum Daily Requirements, together with some form of zinc ionophore that acted on the coronavirus particle, preventing it from replicating and thus halting the progress of the disease, has proved to be a very effective form of prevention.
Even after the novel coronavirus gets established in body tissues, treatment with ivermectin, the hydroxychloroquine-zinc-azithromycin protocol, or monoclonal antibodies, extracted from the blood plasma of recovered COVID-19 Wuhan virus patients, when given in a timely fashion after the first diagnosis of the illness, assures almost complete recovery, even in persons that may be subject to other comorbidities.
But the absolute hysteria generated in response to providing this advice became a torrent of rancor and misplaced RAGE almost overnight, a propaganda shield thrown up denying any other course of treatment other than vaccinations with the frankly experimental mRNA injection that was developed, and to deny any other treatment until the patient was hospitalized, often on the brink of death, because of the delay in the start of treatment, with newly developed drugs that often had LESS efficacy that the relatively inexpensive and already available treatments that had been approved for use in humans, albeit for a different purpose.
Common aspirin was developed long ago as a cure for headache, and some bodily pains, but more and more uses have been discovered over the years, including as a blood thinning treatment for blood clots, and for actual reduction of inflammation due to certain kinds of arthritis. To some degree, aspirin is even effective against the symptoms of COVID-19 virus itself.
Many common drugs already employed in human medicine have also been found to be sometimes highly effective in controlling or even curing seemingly unrelated chronic and acute illnesses, the “off-label” use. Practical experience have proved the worthiness of keeping an open mind on repurposing many of these pharmaceutical products.
no $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...
the first question.

The second should be how many more of the testing companies were fraudulent ?
All of them ?
We shouldn’t let them distract us with vaccines, lockdowns, passports, social distancing and masks.
We should be concentrating on the arrest, indictment, trial, conviction, sentencing and execution for crimes against humanity of the people responsible for unleashing the Fauci/China biological warfare virus and the terminator “vaccines” on an unsuspecting world.
In order to do that we need to restore our republic.
As long as Deep State is in control of counting our votes, I don’t know how in God’s name we do that.
I know that, but in order to make something happen we need to start screaming about the need for it.

Why was there no Warp Speed for Therapeutics?
Simple. There didn’t need to be. Doctors were figuring this stuff out, early on. And they were silenced. One doctor that discovered that the ventilators were killing patients was fired. Two doctors in NY that started treating people were effectively disappeared.
President Trump invited some of these doctors to the White House. Of course, he was ridiculed for doing so. The media trashed them. And the media made sure that everyone take a knee to Fauci and the rest.
