White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that data from a coronavirus drug trial testing Gilead Sciences’ antiviral drug remdesivir showed “quite good news.”

Speaking to reporters from the White House, Fauci said he was told data from the trial showed a “clear cut positive effect in diminishing time to recover.”

“This will be the standard of care,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, added.

And guess what. The Shermans owned a company that makes the generic of HCQ. They were the Canadian couple that were murdered in their home.

So, numerous studies of HCQ by independent doctors are inconclusive and "anecdotal," but ONE study of another drug conducted by the drug's manufacturer is proof-positive of its efficacy.

Don't get me wrong - I hope it works - but Fauci seems to have different standards for judging different studies.

Wonder how much money he has riding on the drug?

We know it’s none for HCQ.

I guess I’m in the minority to be ecstatic that at least there’s a drug that saves lives. This is a game-changing development and allows a broader and more rapid opening of the economy.

Stop promoting fake news. It’s an IV drug without a price tag (it’s not approved yet for any disease), so you clearly are just shooting from the hip.

Yeah, was kinda my first thought too...erm..what haven’t we done the same ‘investigation’ into HCQ-ZPack? He was trying very hard to say ‘independent’ and ‘not done by a drug company’.

I also heard this isn’t cheap - so Fauci, scratching somebody’s back are we?

...and the HCQ should also have been the first question from reporters. ...but of course not, did it even come up? (stopped watching)

This drug is patented and one of Fauci’s beloved Pharma companies can commit highway robbery by pushing it. HCQ therapies by contrast are cheap and offer no windfall profits for any of Fauci’s cronies,

I would be ecstatic if Gilead offered this treatment for free, or, for $100.00, rather than THOUSANDS, per dose.

The PROVEN, effective HCQ/Dr Z treatment is only about $100.00/course....w/no patents.

The ChiComs applied for the patent on this....only after trashing it as a success. Gee, why would they do that???

And, components to make this drug are only available from ...... CHINA.

Also.....see this....

Yes, great if it works. There’s another drug being touted, can’t remember the lab, Euro somewhere. Said if it tests good they won’t patent it. Too bad this bunch
wont do the same.
