It's laughable that people are tripping over themselves to grab a drug that has very shaky evidence of its efficacy. Meanwhile robbing the stockpiles to those who actually need it.
Mark my words. Trump has invested heavily in HCQ manufacturers. And you all are suckers for buying up a drug that doesn't work against COVID-19.

Now let’s flip the script. Are those hoping for it’s lack of efficacy really in big Pharm pocket looking for a more profitable treatment? Are they heavily invested in the “resist” movement that’s they’d rather hydroxychloroquine fail than let the President get a perceived win?

Which is understandable. Its not personal, its just business.
We need a much more insourced medical infrastructure, among many things like manufacturing and rare earth mining etc. And we have to protect our energy sectors at all costs long term. Likewise, I'm sure India will understand why we can't use wage lowering visas and will need to severely tax international remittences. Its not personal, its just business.

It's pretty telling that they don't seem to care the entire preventative medical industry is shutdown, and this drug's supply is what they are concerned about.

Last time a pilot told me "mark my words" was over 20 years ago. After "mark my words" he followed that with "Bill Clinton will amend the constitution so he can be elected to a third term, which will be the first step in establishing and leading a one-world government."
I am not making one word of that up. You'll forgive all of us if we don't regard "mark my words" as some sort of fast track to legitimacy.

Kinda like the hospitals in our area that are furloughing staff, both medical and admin, because they have - get this - no patients. WTF?
Kinda like our farmers here, they have no demand for their fruits and veggies. This time of year is when our produce grown here kicks in to the markets. No demand. So it's left to rot. WTF? (some is given away to food banks, but limited).
Kinda like the dairy industry here as well, low demand, milk is being dumped. WTF?
I could go on with my own little corner of the world. This is what shutting down the economy does. Its gonna hurt a bunch of people. It's gonna directly affect people way more than the bug.

Kinda like the people they arrest for breaking the social distancing "rule" in NYC. They then throw them in a cell with 30+ other people. WTF?

edit ...sorry slow typer in phone, seems I'm not the only one that prefers facts over character assignations.
