1 says nothing about policy or vaccines or masks etc. You were just simply incorrect about risk factors right off the bat which makes me think it’s a waste of time walking you through some other items. 

Some of your complaints here are also Monday morning quarterbacking. You didn’t know on day one any of the claims you made here. Nobody did, it took time and research to properly grasp the problem. Pretending that scientists efforts were evil frankly puts a target on my back when we were working very hard to get things right. There is no guarantee one can produce a cure every time and on a short schedule, whether vaccine or drug. Getting treatments out that reduce hospital loads and have the potential to restart the economy would be a big win, even if not a full on cure. 

Additionally the severity in symptoms reduces over time because of survivorship bias and mutation— many viruses evolve towards being asymptomatic as a means of survival. Saying covid is no big deal now is not very controversial, but the viruses floating now are not the same as before and not infecting the same susceptible population.
