Follow the money.
Hydroxycholorquine costs about $20 for one month’s supply. It is a generic drug manufactured by several companies. It has been approved and in use since 1955 for malaria and other diseases. It is unlikely that drug companies will pay for clinical trials in view of limited profit potential.
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.
An overlooked benefit of using hydroxvhloroquine with a zinc supplement is the ‘resistance factor’. The way the hydroxychloroquine as an ionophore for the zinc, viruses should not develop /mutate resistant strains ... the kill is a physical action within your cells, not a blocked pathway into your cells.
1. The article departed reality when it categorically claimed there were no antibodies built up in the population. There has been no testing to determine that.
2. Hydroxychloroquine can be obtained over the counter, and is being put into production. I know of people who have already started taking it.
It does work. But it can cause blindness and other problems even death. Its good as one of an arsenal of drugs. But its not something you give until you have few options left. The public should not rely on it. But its nice to have. Trump is right. But Fauci is not wrong either.
We need clinical trials of medicines and supplements that are independent of Pharmaceutical companies.
We might already be funding some through Universities.

This whole crisis is going to provide fuel for the crusade for universal health insurance and taking a look at the drug industry. The GOP will get run over if they insist on standing as the guardians of the status quo
