Institutional COVID denial has killed public health as we knew it. Prepare to lose several centuries of progress.
"Zero public health projects in the history of ever have had a stated goal of “ignore it because we have to live life.” It’s fundamentally antithetical to the very concept of public health."
Structure-guided engineering of a mutation-tolerant inhibitor peptide against variable SARS-CoV-2 spikes | PNAS
“We demonstrated the efficacy of the peptide against various mutant spike proteins and authentic SARS-CoV-2 variants and confirmed its tolerance to existing and potential future mutations.”

Japanese researchers develop peptide preventing COVID-19 infections
"The peptide comprises 39 natural amino acids, and it is inexpensive and easily synthesized," Institute of Science Tokyo Distinguished Professor Yoshinori Fujiyoshi said. "It only binds to spike proteins, so it can be considered to have no side effects."

Pre-pandemic artificial MERS analog of polyfunctional SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 furin cleavage site domain is unique among spike proteins of genus Betacoronavirus - BMC Genomic Data
Covid's S1/S2 furin cleavage site domain has only been found on one other virus... an artificial one.
It doesn't mean there aren't any viruses with it out there in the wild... but we haven't found any yet.
