These people don't do anything unless there's money involved. The Hydroxychloroquine campaign was obviously a well-orchestrated effort, starting at the top, to convince the public this drug is a cure for the C-19 virus.

It's hard to know if it was done for profit, or was it just another one of Trump's bullshit schemes to convince Americans to not worry about becoming infected, and to not shut down the economy?
