If they were interested in saving people, though, why so much effort into suppressing treatments that looked promising (HCQ being the posterchild)?

As to the other elements of the pharm complex being destructive, no question big pharma has been destroying human quality of life for decades now...

There's a few possible reasons I can think of, and it probably involves a combination of factors rather than just one simple cause.

  • Medicine isn't a perfect science. A number of studies conflict with each other about the effectiveness of HCQ.
  • Trump recommended it and so it was rejected for political reasons
  • There's not much money to be made on HCQ
  • The new vaccines prove RNA vaccines can work, something that had been in development since 1989 but never tried
  • Some people are really hung up on the dangers of SARs, this is not the first scare.
