Ah, there's an angle - greed

[quote]President Donald Trump has a “small financial interest” in the maker of an anti-malarial drug that he has been touting as a “game changer” in treating coronavirus, according to The New York Times. Over the past two weeks, Trump and his Fox News allies have aggressively promoted hydroxychloroquine as a potential cure, despite top infectious-disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci and others urging caution and noting that there was not enough evidence of the drug’s efficacy.

The Times reports the president’s family trusts all have investments in a mutual fund whose largest holding is Sanofi, the manufacturer of Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine. Associates of the president, including Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, have also run funds that hold investments in the pharmaceutical firm.

Don't know if this article is true or not.

... but accepting medical advice from a person that runs hotels and golfclubs and the propaganda outlet that vigorously supports him, that sounds like some form of natural selection at work honestly. 😅

It gets even more dramatic if you know that a renowed physician and immunologist working for his own administration goes against it. At it gets even more damning when you know certain people on society needs this drug, but are now looking toward shortages because some random demagogue promotes it as a form of a miracle cure.
