Israel’s leading drug producer announced Thursday it will donate 6 million doses of anti-malaria drugs to the United States in hopes that it could be helpful treating coronavirus symptoms.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries says the drug could potentially treat people with the coronavirus and will ship the hydroxychloroquine tablets through wholesalers nationwide by the end of the month and will provide 10 million doses in total, according to Breitbart News.
“We are committed to helping to supply as many tablets as possible as demand for this treatment accelerates at no cost,” Teva Executive Vice President Brendan O’Grady said about the move.
President Trump has expressed support and optimism for potential treatments, including malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine.
“We’re going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately,” Trump told the nation on Thursday during a White House coronavirus task force briefing.
Stephan Hahn, the head of the Food and Drug Administration, clarified that testing is underway but noted he did not "want to speculate about a timeline."

Wow. A country helping US for once.
Who will buck the system and administer it???
So if I have COVID-19 AND Malaria, I don’t have to wait for the FDA, right?
Did not want to speculate. He is in charge for the love of mercy. Either he needs to start applying the proverbial boot to his obstructionist bureaucrats, or Trump needs to take charge.
They’re trying to keep up with the charitable work coming out of Palestine. Not!!
It’s things like this that will prove the Corona Cheerleaders wrong.
It’s like they have no faith in President Trump, well, actually I think a lot of them are not Trump supporters at all.
Trump is on the side of God, he has proven unstoppable in the face of insurmountable odds, and this thing isn’t going to stop him either.
Now comes Israel, along with countless US companies going all out to help.
Lack of faith in the capitalistic system to not only beat this, but to beat the hell out of the Chinese virus.
Sure, no hurry; take your time.
Now THAT is the question. FOX has had a few bureaucratic toadies on saying "we don't know if it works. Experts have to tell us. In the meantime, wash your hands."
As Trump said, it may work, it may not, but let's find out, since others have reported that it does.
In times like these, you find out who your friends are.
he did not “want to speculate about a timeline.”

Leave it to a bureaucrat to talk about timelines when lives are at stake. I bet he would be first in line for this medication if he was suffering from the disease.
People should have the option of taking this drug before that are near death, and their lungs are permanently damaged.
What is Hamas donating? Hatred, and a never ending battle to destroy Israel.
Light the fires under their rears.
Americans will soon find out that the government is not their friend...
The experts are hesitating because they want to help their industry friends find a way to profit on a treatment.
Spoken Like A True To Form Bureaucrat!!
Thank God for Trump, the US capitalism, and israel....
Arabs and nuzzles useless scum
Americans will soon find out that the government is not their friend...

I’ve worked inside numerous government agencies in different capacities. Trust me, their first priority is always themselves.
It’s a matter of who prescribes it. Once that happens you just put it in your mouth and swallow.
