Trump barely even mentioned that the coronavirus was an issue before mid-March and then he comes charging out of the gate with this instead of focusing on ANY of the other 50,000 things he should have need doing all along.

“In mid-March, President Donald Trump personally pressed federal health officials to make malaria drugs available to treat the novel coronavirus, though they had been untested for COVID-19, two sources told Reuters.

Shortly afterward, the federal government published highly unusual guidance informing doctors they had the option to prescribe the drugs, with key dosing information based on unattributed anecdotes rather than peer-reviewed science.”

The money making angle seems more likely.

Nobody makes any money from hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine...they are generics. That's probably the issue in some circles...who wants a cheap solution when there are life savings to be drained from sick people?

Somebody is making money when the federal government buys a stockpile of millions and millions of pills.

These pills cost a few pennies each to make. Novartis donated 30 million of them to HHS. Compare that to other potential treatments like remdesivir, an experimental drug that costs about $1000. Or then there is the cost of an ICU stay which can be $10,000 per day or more.

You say this as if hydroxychloraquine is actually warding off ICU stays.

There are a couple of other things that are being tried, but this is the cheapest and most readily available. As for the ventilators, they don't seem to be working very well for the patients.

I would like Trump to take it first.

What does he have to lose?

Trump, his cabinet and response team probably are? Isn't it also being used as a prophylactic by doctors and nurses right now? Safe bet pols like Cuomo, Whitmer, et al are taking it too.

Yeah, it’s a drug with some pretty heavy duty side effects (and should be reserved for the people with autoimmune disease who have a proven need for it). The fact that they’re throwing it at patients with covid is proof that we don’t know our butts from a hole in the ground when it comes to covid.

Why? Are you a medical professional? Did someone close to you who IS a medical professional tell you that this combo works or could possibly work? What are you basing this on? I’m asking respectfully. I just want to understand where this info is coming from.
