The common cold, really?

After joining many of my friends, all over the world this week, in enduring the utter misery of the so-called "Common Cold". I say enough is enough.
It is an amazing thing isn't it? we as humans, have apparently mastered the science of space travel, put a man or two on the moon, sent probes into the outer reaches of the universe. We as a species have figured out how to climb the highest mountains and endure the extreme weather conditions of the poles, and the worlds deserts. We have airplanes that can fly faster than sound, ships that can explore the depths of the worlds oceans, luxury sea cruisers bigger than some towns.
We can prevent the flu with a vaccine, we have cured Typhoid, Black Plague, Yellow Fever, and numerous other diseases that used to wipe us out in our thousands. We can lessen the effects of Aids, cure some cancers, perform open heart surgery and transplant organs from one human being to another. Nano technology is on the verge of miracles in medicine. But alas dear reader, the common cold, seems to have eluded our finest scientific minds for ages past.
I am calling Bullshit!! Like the engine that can run on water, the cure for this does exist. They are simply keeping it from us for economic reasons.
If you take into account all the billions of dollars that are spent every year on symptom reducers for this seemingly innocent ailment. There are hundreds of them, look at the aisle in the supermarket for cold relief. It as astounding. Nyquil, which used to work somewhat for me, but didn't seem to help much this last time, can be found in its original form, and several generic ripoffs depending on where you shop. This one medicine can be priced from about $5.00 and up. Then there is Dayquil, Alka Seltzer, Sudafed, Theraflu, etc..etc.. the list is endless.The brand name ripoffs are endless, the aisles go on and on with these promises of relief from your cough, runny nose, sneezing, headaches, fevers, cold chills and whatever else you suffer from this time.
Bottom line is dear fellow consumer, they will NEVER give us the cure for the common cold, because the pharmaceutical industry is one of the worlds biggest economy runners and we spend BILLIONS every year on all this stuff which keeps them getting richer and richer on the back of our suffering.
They will never allow the water powered engine either, for the same reasons.
We are doomed to a future of gasoline powered engines and wrapping blankets around ourselves while we get loved ones to fix us our favorite cold medicine and our Chicken Noodle or Tomato soups.
With a pathetic "dank dyou" sniff sniff cough cough, I am retiring back to my sick bed.
Until next time,
A fond farewell.
