https://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2020/08/top-trump-advisor-attacks-coronavirus-task-forces-adm-giroir-so-he-can-push-hydroxychloroquine/Trump White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro is attacking the Coronavirus Task Force member in charge of COVID-19 testing. Admiral Brett Giroir over the weekend acknowledged hydroxychloroquine has been proven to be not effective in the fight against the coronavirus, echoing the position of the FDA and the CDC, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Dr. Deborah Birx. Earlier Monday President Donald Trump attacked Dr. Deborah Birx.
Navarro a discredited economist who routinely pushes President Donald Trumps talking points went on CNN and was asked by anchor Jim Sciutto to share his opinion on the malaria drug the right wing has been dangerously pushing as a cure for coronavirus.
Sciutto noted Adm. Giroir had stated there are at least five studies out now that prove hydroxychloroquine offers no benefit to patients in the fight against coronavirus.
Is it time for the administration to focus on proven treatments? Sciutto asked.
Navarro, who has also attacked Dr. Fauci, including in the op-ed pages of USA Today, immediately slammed Giroir.

62 million doses couldn't have been cheap. He probably paid double the market price.

And why did Trump haul off and buy millions of doses... and most important, who did he actually pay and how much did he pay?

hydroxychloroquine because they have engineered a nano bot which can track you where ever you go.

that are marked with expiration dates. Trump is holding over 50 million doses that are fading in value as each day move them closer to expiration. He needs sucker buyers NOW.
