That is simply not true.

There are many effective treatments for viral infections, but none of them are under patent protection.

Augie, first thanks for posting. Early in this thread I invited all to correct any of my mis-statements, and I was hoping someone with first hand knowledge would catch any errors.

So, I have questions for you. Are the virus treatments class related, or are there treatments specific to certain virus'? Also, are there any drugs that have shown to be effective on both virus and bacterial infections?

Could you also explain the patent protection deal?

Thanks again.
