Trump to do Full 5-Day Course of Remdesivir – Betrayal of Hydroxychloroquine Doctors?

Yesterday I speculated as to why President Trump may be receiving treatment for COVID as it was announced immediately after his alleged positive COVID test that he was going to be given a new experimental COVID drug that has not even been fast-tracked for approval yet. The stock of the company producing the drug rose on Friday as a result of the announcement. Today (October 4, 2020) it was announced that Trump had received his second dose of remdesivir, another experimental COVID drug, but one that has already received fast-track approval by the FDA, and has been widely distributed to hospitals. His doctors reported that President Trump would receive the full 5 doses. Interestingly, FiercePharma, the main pharmaceutical marketing trade publication, announced on Friday, October 2nd, the same day Trump was admitted to Walter Reed, that sales of Gilead's remdesivir were beginning to slump, and that the company was taking over distribution of the drug now as a result of the slow-down in sales. The cost for the 5-dose treatment of remdesivir is $3,120.00, and sales are expected to exceed $3.5 billion in revenue. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a drug with no patents due to being in the marketplace with a perfect safety record for over 35 years and with a cost of about $20 per dose, was condemned by U.S. public health officials like Dr. Fauci as supposedly being ineffective in treating COVID. Gilead's remdesivir was given fast-track approval instead, and demand initially sky rocketed. But now, apparently the supply of remdesivir exceeds demand. That should change now that President Trump is using it, after initially taking HCQ as a preventive measure. As we have previously reported numerous times here at Health Impact News, Frontline Doctors and thousands of doctors around the world have successfully treated COVID patients with HCQ and many report a 100% success rate. I wonder how all of these doctors feel now, since most of them felt like President Trump was on their side since he had previously recommended HCQ? The demonization of HCQ in favor of Gilead's remdesivir has led to tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths, according to many doctors, making Dr. Fauci, FDA Commissioner Dr. Hahn, and others, complicit in mass murder. Are these Big Pharma mass murderers now forcing President Trump to promote their drugs to ensure his success in the elections?
