To all those dedicated scientists working on a vaccine to staunch this frigging menace otherwise known as COVID-19, you might as well wash up the petri dishes, wipe down the benches with Spray'n'Wipe, and shove your coats in a bucket of Napison because you're wasting your time. Apparently what will get rid of this virus is 'The Wind of God'.
Yep, true dinks. Saw it in a film clip. Some evangelist type in - I think - Texas giving a speech with his acolytes around him parroting his words like some kind of charlatan Greek chorus. The minister's name is Kenneth Copeland, and he kind of looks like a frenzied cobra with black plastic Lego hair. He cries out the virus will be banished by 'the wind of God!', only because he's - I think - Texan, it comes out as, 'The wind of Gahd!' What ever the pronunciation, accent, and geographic dialect, it all just smacks of utter charlatanism, chicanery, give-me-all-your-money-to-help-me-do-the-Lord's-work-bullshit, and duplicitous scamming. Look, Ken, I highly doubt this germ is going to be obliterated by the flatulence of a metaphysical being, as you appear to be asserting. Why do people have to be so frigging greedy and take advantage of others, and why are people so fucking stupid that they'd give credence to what is obviously a snake oil salesman in a suit (with a fawning Greek chorus in the background)?
It's the type of thing that makes you think: Well, that's enough Internet for me today.
Toodles.
