Hydroxychloroquine nearly doubles chance of death

[Takket]

Congress needs to investigate this. This drug was only pushed so hard because drumpf insisted on it and look at the suffering it has caused. Who know how many of those patients could have been saved if they were in a trial based on some sort of Meaningful empirical evidence and not one flawed trial from China that drumpf decided to use to push the drug.

Trump Has ‘Financial Interest’ in Hydroxychloroquine Manufacturer: NYT

The Times reports the president’s family trusts all have investments in a mutual fund whose largest holding is Sanofi, the manufacturer of Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine. Associates of the president, including Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, have also run funds that hold investments in the pharmaceutical firm.

6. And when did Trump and Kush-Turd invest in H.C.Q. and his own C-19 Test Kits?

He knew about the coming pandemic in November of 2019 and instead of getting America
ready for the disease he looked at ways to make money off of it.

"President Donald Trump has a “small financial interest” in the maker of an anti-malarial drug that he has been touting as a “game changer” in treating coronavirus, according to The New York Times."
