As global media and social platforms report a potential resurgence of COVID-19, a columnist has alleged that the renewed fear campaign is driven by the “medical mafia” for commercial gains. According to the writer, COVID-19 has now become similar to a common cold or seasonal flu, with no need for special medications beyond regular cold remedies. They argue that panic-related deaths during the pandemic outnumbered those directly caused by the virus, and that severe impact was only seen in high-risk individuals.
The columnist further claims that every year, a new variant is highlighted, often originating from China- to spark fear, with recent reports from Singapore, Europe, and the U.S. fitting this pattern. However, unlike in the past, those countries are conducting tests without inciting panic. Accusing pharmaceutical and medical supply companies of fueling this narrative to sell vaccines and masks, the writer urged the public to remain cautious but not fearful, stating that COVID is no longer a major threat if basic precautions are followed.
