Remdesivir is a proprietary experimental drug developed by one major medical company, Gilead Science. It has not been approved for use at all, but is being clinically tested, apparently sponsored by Gilead Science. Estimated cost for one month's supply is $1,000. There is a high profit potential if this drug is ultimately approved.
Is it any wonder that the drug industry is trying to slow the use of Hydroxycholoroquine to maintain a market for
remdesivir after it finishes clinical trials?
The FDA has long had a symbiotic relationship with the drug industry, which some might view as incestuous, or worse. It is possible that the FDA is complicit in delaying use of hydroxychloroquine to allow a window of opportunity for the profit from Remdesivir.
Gilead desperately wants this to be the panacea as Remdesivir was a flop against Ebola. It has shown some efficacy in treating Coronavirus diseases. It’s available for compassionate use but has to be applied for and shipped. No delay there, right?
Remdesivir’s trial results are due in April. But can Gilead produce and distribute enough medication to make a dent in this first wave?
Interestingly, Fauci mentioned Remdesivir in one of his first press conferences. He mentioned it as a possible therapeutic, but managed to forget that the evidence was “anecdotal.”
Along comes a cheaper and much more readily available drug and it’s partially dismissed as anecdotal.

that’s complete bullshit: it’s just crap you’re making up ... Teva and Mylan announced a few days ago that they’re gearing up to manufacture millions of pills of Hydroxycholoroquine and DONATE them to hospitals ...
President Trump himself said yesterday that he’s optimistic that Hydroxycholoroquine could be a “game changer”, and Dr. Fauci said he would like to see data collected AS that drug is used in hospitals ... no one is stopping anyone from using that drug ... ANY drug already approved by the FDA can be used ethically and legally used for any other medical purpose WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL by anyone ... it’s called off-label use, and people would be stunned at the number of off-label prescriptions they fill every day ...
so go peddle your lies and bullshit somewhere else where it will be appreciated ...
