The U.S. Surgeon General was Jerome Adams, former Health Commissioner of Indiana under Gov. Mike Pence, who was Trump’s Covid czar.

So it would seem as if Pence was “in” on the DOD (DARPA) plot to the American people ignorant about the prophylactic, symptom-alleviating, and curative features of HydroxyChloroquine and Ivermectin vis-a-vis the novel Coronavirus and the related disease, COVID-19.
Pence would therefore have been in charge of keeping Trump from doing what he was starting to do, but abruptly stopped doing, which was to promote HcQ and Ivermectin. Which would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the U.S. and millions overseas (as it was, the government of India shipped Ivermectin throughout their country, but on the down low to avoid pissing off the Brandon administration).
