Pool report: "'We have stockpiled 29 million pills of the Hydroxychloroquine ... And they're not expensive,' Trump says. 'What do you have to lose?' Fauci, seated at side of briefing room, is avoiding eye contact and could practicing a self-calming technique."

OP
How much of an interest do the Trumps and/or Kushners own in the companies that make this?

Not much, someone will produce it at low price just like vaccines, old miracle drugs still used, etc

Look at the cost of vaccines, penicillin, Digoxin, nitroglycerin, metoprolol, etc.

That's what we need to find out.

of this with more than his 30% ignorant white wing base still supporting him.

how high do you think the price will be jacked up?

(54,770 posts)6. Not much, someone will produce it at low price just like vaccines, old miracle drugs still used, etc
But if it saves lives, do you think we should say "we aren't paying for it," because the price doubles to $10?
Honestly, if trump or anyone else wanted to make big money of a treatment for CV19, they'd tout something else under patent.

(28,079 posts)8. I hope you're right about that
but you seem to have more faith in the pharmaceutical companies doing the right thing than I do.

But, I do get the skepticism. If it works, someone will make a slight change and price it as if its a yuge change.

Like a dog that wont listen...everytime trump says something inaccurate, Fauci just mashes that button till he shuts the fuck up.
