You claim "you face it with the best odds you ever will". What about the possibility of improved therapies in the future? You've made the argument that you may be better off catching it sooner rather than later when you're older, given that risk rises with age, but do you really think that outweighs advances in therapeutics?

You claim "you face it with the best odds you ever will". What about the possibility of improved therapies in the future? You've made the argument that you may be better off catching it sooner rather than later when you're older, given that risk rises with age, but do you really think that outweighs advances in therapeutics? For instance, if someone catches it for the first time 2 years from now at age 52 vs. right now at age 50, it seems likely to me that the advances in therapies in 2 years would outweigh the modest increase in risk from being only 2 years older.
Do we have effective therapies for other coronaviruses?
I'm skeptical that the Pharm companies care that much about developing therapies for diseases they can convince people to vaccinate for. The vaccines have a wider audience, much higher profit, and far less liability. I was surprised to find that my Facebook ads only started to ask for volunteers to test Pfizer therapies maybe 6-8 months ago after vaccines had been available for almost a year. Does Pfizer really have such a small staff they couldn't push both at once??
