    And for most people, a healthy natural body immune system is their best defense in any case. Preventative prophylactic drugs, infra-red light therapy as well as a selection of immune boosting food supplements might also be preferable BEFORE temporarily acting inoculation injections are even given to the elderly or those with comorbidities. Perhaps under such immune boosting these comorbidities might reduce or disappear?

    Probably the best general advice would be to distribute a basic package of anti-viral supplements worldwide. Additionally, select inexpensive anti-viral medications, such as Ivermectin, should also be made available. I think the COVID-19 pandemic proved that vaccines cannot be used equitably worldwide given expense and logistics.

    1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere/GHGs, makes the earth cooler than it would be without that atmosphere like that reflective panel set behind the windshield. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth would become much like the Moon, a barren rock with a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree. 2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating/delaying/intercepting, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which according to RGHE theory comes from 3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" upwelling energy as a LWIR , 1.0 emissivity, ideal black body which 4) cannot happen because of the non-radiative, kinetic energy, heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules and as demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science: principia-scientific.org/debunking-the-greenhouse-gas-theory-with-a-boiling-water-pot/ 1 or 2 or 3 + 4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change/global warming.
