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.

    (same poster) I also work with the assumption that mainstream sources are no more competent than the rest of us in determining what should be discussed and what shouldn't when it comes to openly discussing various topics. The extreme view here is to assume that some mainstream source is able to determine, better than me, what I should be allowed to read and what I should not be allowed to read and what is and isn't true.
