There are two forces that are opposed to this drug and it has nothing to do with its effectiveness. This drug is used to treat malaria and lupus and has been used safely for 65 years. If there is any threat it is because those running the study are not conducting the study properly. Throughout Africe this drug is being used almost exclusively to treat Covid 19 and in central Africa where Malaria is common there are almost no deaths from Covid 19. Pharmaceuticals and those invested in a risky vaccine do NOT want any alternatives to be good enough. Many see Covid as a way to increase international and political power much as they saw Global Warming before.
I agree. If WHO gets its way, coronaviruses will indefinitely shutdown the world, except for "essential" businesses.
