I know the states and/or retirement homes that housed COVID patients were
making money for doing so, so I am not surprised that hospitals might also
have profited from it.

But how many were truly credible?  A lot of those that "came forward" were
slinging at least as much BS as the Democrats were.

I will say this... the Democrats, early on, slung a lot of BS about it not
being anything to worry about (see Pelosi and NY politicians when it came
to wanting tourist to visit their Chinatowns for Chinese New Year) and,
later, slung a lot of BS about the shot being bogus (see Harris) which
ultimately lead to a lot of minorities not trusting or getting the shot
once they were available.

I bring those two examples up because, in both cases, they did a 180 on
their stances and lied about having them to begin with.

You didn't say it, but others have been floating his name as a replacement
Surgeon General -- a position he has no business being in -- so I was not
sure why you threw his name out there.  If that isn't what you meant, that
is good.  I would like to see politicians not getting rich by aiding the
pharma companies.
