President Donald Trump persuaded India’s prime minister to release many millions of hydroxychloroquine pills on April 6 after the Indian government had announced it would keep all of the pills for its own population of almost 1.5 billion people.
“I called Prime Minister Modi of India this morning … and I said I’d appreciate it if they would release the amounts that we ordered,” Trump told reporters April 4,
They make large amounts of hydroxychloroquine — very large amounts, frankly. They had a hold [on exports], because, you know, they have 1.5. billion people, and they think a lot of it. And I said I’d appreciate it if they would release the amounts that we ordered …
But we have already 29 million [dosesin stock]. That’s a big number. Twenty-nine million doses. And we’ve got millions of doses that are being made here and many millions of doses that are made elsewhere that are being shipped here, and it will be arriving…
But there’s a lot of very positive things happening with that. That’s a game changer if that’s the case. Obviously, we continue to work on the vaccines, but the vaccines have to be down the road by probably 14, 15, 16 months.
Many doctors say their coronavirus patients do improve after being treated with hydroxychloroquine.
On April 6, India’s government decided to allow exports of the pills to the United States.
India’s media added more details about the Trump deal. LiveMint.com, an Indian business website, reported April 6:
NEW DELHI: Paying heed to US President Donald Trump’s call, India on Monday decided to allow export of hydroxychloroquine — a drug seen as key in the treatment of the covid-19 pandemic — on a “case by case” basis. It also allowed the export of paracetamol, a popular antipyretic,

Trump is DA MAN!
Tough for the LSM to take, but they are wimps.
Replace “Trump” with “Obama” and just imagine the what the press coverage would be.
Gee, but it would be nice if we didn’t have to go begging to other countries for our medical supplies.
No vaccine has ever been successfully produced for other corona viruses, HIV or SARS.
This virus is literally SARS-2, based on, as I understand it, the original SARS virus basically being inserted into a coronavirus (so as to combine the lethality of the former with the contagion of the latter), using an HIV envelope for insertion and attachment.
So my confidence in an effective vaccine being produced quickly is not high. Modi is our friend however, and we should be able to return enough favors to the Indians to assure a massive supply of choroquine and other meds in the meantime.
Lots of Indian H3 visas.
Smuggle a lot of them into New York please.
Mine either. The countries who we hear are having great success still have a soaring death rates. If it was a cure-all-I would want to see these rates decrease.
I think people like Valerie Jarrett, Hillary and the rest were going to have their own supply in their cabinets. Then they would have the virus released. By the way, this step was probably supposed to happen in my opinion using another virus, a stronger one.
Most of my generic meds are made in India.
It IS degrading. Hopefully never again.
“Smuggle a lot of them into New York please.”
President Trump hooked up NY. 4,000 (or more now) are on HCQ & Zpac.
C’mon, man
This drug is just anecdotal.
And granular.
And expodential.
Exactly this is what a paper publishe by indian scientists of IIT, Delhi said.
This paper was published in last week of January

As usual global chinese mafia and so called scientific journals suppressed it.
If Obama (or any other Democrat) had pulled something like this off, every member of the Ministry of Truth would be lining up to fellate him.
sorry. wrong thread.
“Overall, U.S. investors and CEOs have shifted the U.S. production of Americans’ pharmaceuticals to China and Indian, so leaving Americans vulnerable to Chinese government policy amid the spread of China’s Wuhan virus. “
yeah. that has to stop ...
for example, those companies making hydroxychloroquine in India are U.S. companies that are not being allowed to export the products that they own from India, and relying on personal relationships is simply not good enough in the long run for the United States to be a secure nation.
We thus need a new superpower initiative in which the United States isn’t just the biggest energy producer in the world, and the biggest food producer and exporter in the world, but we also MUST become the biggest pharmaceutical manufacturer in the world (including full vertical integration of precursor supply), and thereby transform ourselves into the largest exporter of pharmaceuticals in the world as well.
It’s not good enough to just be self-sufficient in food and energy production and a world exporter of surpluses of those essential products, but the same HAS to be true with pharmaceuticals too: the United States of America MUST become the nation that all the other nations turn to for their pharmaceuticals, instead of us remaining the nation that turns to others for our medications.
Energy and food self-sufficiency are not sufficient to maintain national security as long as we remain a beggar nation when it comes to relying on other nations to supply our healthcare system.
True national security stands on four legs: military power, energy self-sufficiency, food self-sufficiency, and healthcare self-sufficiency.
I agree, but that is a long term change, not a short term one
“This virus is literally SARS-2, based on, as I understand it, the original SARS virus basically being inserted into a coronavirus”
They are corona viruses. I don’t understand what you mean by ‘inserted into a corona virus’.
