Trump Has Financial Interest In Hydroxychloroquine Maker: NYT

Posted by JayZeeBMT on Tue Apr 7 08:09:32 2020

"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."

I hope nobody thought Trump was pushing this particular medication out of genuine benevolence for the people...

His investment in Sanofi isn't going to help him enough if Deutsche Bank doesn't bail out his real estate holdings.

Trump will just tie the bank up in court for years, if they don't bail him out.

Dear lord it's a generic! They're not making anything over it. And his "financial interest" is via a fund.

Ask yourself - who has an interest in the best solution *not* being a treatment regiment that costs less than $100 to even the uninsured in America? Bill Gates' vaccine and Gilead's phase 3 drug trial for starters.

I own shares of both Mylan and Teva. Both manufacture hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets. If I mention the drugs favorably, am I doing it because I have a financial interest or because I think it works?

best solution

This treatment is clearly at best a minor tool in the fight against covid-19. In the last month it's been used on many thousands of people, in many countries, and death rates have not come down in any significant way.

There may be no well-documented large double-blind trials, but the world as a whole makes for a poorly undocumented large trial, and the results are nothing great.

Everyone with shares in broad based mutual funds owns a bit of all the drug makers.

Trump is probably pushing an unproven drug just because he's an idiot, and not to make money.

Given the absolute lack of proof, it's inappropriate to attribute a dishonest motive.

Trump has done any number of demonstrably dishonest things with adding speculative ones to the list. And stupidity and perceived political advantage are excellent motives in this case.

If bingbong means lack of proof of character or other motivations, then I disagree. I see no reason why a person would not have financial motivations if they directly own stock in the relevant companies.

Trump indeed sounds desperate which in turn makes him sound stupid. His pushing the drug is part of his getting America back to work ASAP edict, which is expected to jump start the economy and better his chances, based on economic recovery, of getting reelected. Although, IMO bread lines going around the block will not help Biden.

That only works if the drug is in fact reasonably effective. So far the evidence seems to be of some really minor positive effect.

Bingbong said "Given the absolute lack of proof". I'm assuming she means lack of proof of character (e.g., honesty, concern for fellow human beings) or other motivations (e.g., he cares about the people he's addressing for some reason). In those cases, financial incentive would be a very definite possibility, since he owns stock in the company and not through a mutual fund or some such.

If it's lack of proof of anything, including stock ownership, then who knows.

She was responding to a hypothetical question of Dave's, where he asked whether he would be acting from financial or altruistic motivation. Therefore it is natural to assume that she meant given the absolute lack of proof about motivation.

That's highly doubtful, to be honest.


In the worst case, it's also doubtful he’ll make it through a second term.

The most patriotic thing he could do is withdraw from the election now. We need someone that can actually do this job,now more than ever.

But Trump is hyping it even though the evidence that it saves lives is extremely minimal.

This drug (and many others) are worth trying. But none are proven to the extent Trump suggests chloroquine is proven. And he is totally lying when he says "it can't hurt." It can, and does.

So you're OK with the president profiteering off this pandemic? Thought so.

Hydrochloroquine hasn't yet been proven as a therapeutic treatment for coronavirus, and people have already died from using it to medicate themselves, on Trump's advice..

I have already stated that if hydrochloroquine and azithromycin are approved by the FDA for human treatment of COVID-19, that will be just fine. However, that hasn't happened yet.
