Amazon is reportedly working to find a cure for the common cold

Amazon disrupted the books, grocery, and shipping business, and now it's set its sights on viral infections. The tech company has apparently tasked a team of employees to research and develop a cure for the common cold, a CNBC report indicates today. Under an effort called "Project Gesundheit," three people familiar with the effort tell CNBC that Amazon is specifically looking to develop a vaccine that would stave off cold infections. This small team exists under the broader Grand Challenge group within Amazon, CNBC says.

This is not a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) story. Do not discuss the coronavirus.

    Especially where a highly enough placed $BUREAUCRAT can be, say, persuaded, to make it mandatory. Any and all effects on the health of @GRUNTS are strictly incidental.

    Face masks are cheaper than vaccines, that the scam that BIG VACCINE doesn't want you to know.
