Your thoughts on the US buying the whole world supply of Covid-19 drug Redemsivir?

@goldenorchid I have seen it in a number of newspapers. The funny thing is that the efficacy and safety of Redemsivir is questioned.

@goldenorchid Trump's priority is not his country, his priority is his donors. Just like the presidents before him, Trump answers to the money, not to his voter base, not to his populace, but to corporate interests.

@BlueMetalChick And to the Federal Reserve, above all else...

@goldenorchid The producer is an american company. The US does not need that much supply, it is a monopoly to make more gains out of it at the expense of other countries.

The prices were changed even though it is not a new drug.

@Miram I read about this morning, I didn't realise it's an American company, they've brought out a new inhaler version and none of the articles said which version was purchased, it might be that trump bought all the old drug and it's not a greed thing, just a way to encourage the company to produce enough of the new inhaler version.
I know, I'm looking for the good in this.
But lets not lose track of the fact that it's not a covid19 cure, it just helps breathing easier while you recover or not.

@goldenorchid

The drug has positive results when it came to those who've had serious symptoms. It speed up the recovery time. Doesn't matter the version.

And regardless of that, there is no need to encourage a multi-billions company known of manipulating prices many times and taking advantage of patients and markets.

It is without a shred of doubts about financial gains.

@Miram it probably is all about the financial gains and nothing else.
My point was that because the inhaler version is more effective, it's possible that the old version was bought up just to make way for the new version, admittedly it sounds unlikely, but we can hope.
