“....a medicine touted as an effective treatment for COVID-19 by some doctors around the world and by the Trump administration...”
That’s another damned lie. The exact quote from the Guardian was: On Sunday Trump again touted hydroxychloroquine, saying “there are some very strong, powerful signs” of its potential as a Covid-19 therapy.”
He did say take it, it is the answer, or anything other than testing is positive.

It’s to cheap. How are politicians going to get what they want from a cheap and fast cure?
Indians in Peru etc used the bark of the fever tree or Jesuit bark or cinchona bark (same thing) for all sorts of things, including malaria. They cured the Spaniards with it several hundred years ago. The Jesuits took the bark back to Europe and some people who didn’t appreciate Catholics wouldn’t use it because it was called Jesuit Bark. Sounds like the media and Democrats of today.
To stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its rapid transmission .
I believe that the death toll is so much lower than expected because they found this drugs efficacy fairly early.
