Donald Trump has stake in company making ‘miracle’ coronavirus drug he keeps pushing

Donald Trump reportedly has a stake in the company making a drug he has been pushing as a ‘miracle’ coronavirus treatment for days. Trump has remained persistently optimistic about the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine day after day despite experts’ warnings that the drug has yet to be proven effective as a Covid-19 treatment. The president’s insinuations may prove to be right after doctors have given anecdotal evidence that the drug may work – and if it does, several pharmaceutical companies and their shareholders, who reportedly include Trump, may stand to benefit. Trump has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drug manufacturer that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine, The New York Times reported. The president began pushing hydroxychloroquine weeks ago and his personal lawyer, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani has reportedly been in his ear about the drug. Giuliani has reportedly been advocating the drug after he spoke to Dr Vladimir Zelenko, who describes himself as a simple country doctor.
Zelenko has since become a star in the eye of conservative media after trying to treat the virus with hydroxychloroquine, zinc sulfate and the antibiotic azithromycin. However, Giuliani denied that he has any stake in the anti-malarial drug manufacturer and claimed he only urged Trump to embrace the drug after the president began pushing it himself. Trump’s former lawyer told The Times on Monday that he began researching coronavirus treatment after investigating former Vice President Joe Biden in Ukraine – an issue which was at the heart of the president’s impeachment trial.
When I finished Biden, I immediately switched to coronavirus and I have been doing an enormous amount of research on it,’ Giuliani said, adding that his research led him to Ukrainian-born Zelenko. ‘One of the things that a good litigator becomes, is you kind of become an instant expert on stuff, and then you forget about it. I don’t claim to be a doctor. I just repeat what they say.’ Hydroxychloroquine has been approved for use on coronavirus patients by the US Food and Drug Administration in an emergency order last month. Trump has said his administration would distribute 29 million doses and he added that he would be requesting more from India.
However, the issue has divided his coronavirus task force after experts have warned against believing in the drug’s effectiveness too early. Dr Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert on the task force, said: ‘I think we’ve got to be careful that we don’t make that majestic leap to assume this is a knockout drug.’ ‘We still need to do the kinds of studies that definitively prove whether any intervention, not just this one, any intervention is truly safe and effective.’

Trump revealed to have financial interests in malaria medication he aggressively pushes as coronavirus cure
Donald Trump continues to tout the potential benefits and pressure the American public into taking hydroxychloroquine – an anti-malarial medication – to treat Covid-19 symptoms, despite his top scientists expressing doubt about its effectiveness.
But why is Trump so keen on hydroxychloroquine? In what Financial Times news editor Matthew Garrahancalled, “The most buried lede of all time,” The New York Times has reported that Trump owns a stake in the company that makes it.
In a story published 6 April, the Times reports:
“If hydroxychloroquine becomes an accepted treatment, several pharmaceutical companies stand to profit, including shareholders and senior executives with connections to the president. Mr. Trump himself has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine.”

Why not to post the original press conference/ question-answer than to turn it it into a definite propaganda item?
The viewers will be better served if they listen to the whole conversation and then make up their minds.
Trump personally threatened.. black mail India Modi to export Hyd chloroquine to US for use of same company anti malaria tablets..But this drug is not cure..it can give relief to some patients on certain conditions..but need study how it's side effected when using every person who dignosed C Virus..
