NEW: If hydroxychloroquine becomes an accepted coronavirus treatment, several companies stand to profit, some with shareholders & execs connected to TRUMP.

Trump himself has a small interest in @Sanofi, which makes a brand-name hydroxychloroquine version. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-malaria-drug.html

Trump’s Aggressive Advocacy of Malaria Drug for Treating Coronavirus Divides Medical Community

While Dr. Anthony Fauci has urged caution in using hydroxychloroquine, some doctors are prescribing it to patients who have the virus despite the fact it has never been tested for it.

RUDY GIULIANI, a champion of hydroxychloroquine, tells me he doesn't have a financial stake, & said he spoke to TRUMP about it only after @POTUS had already promoted the drug publicly.

RUDY: “I don’t claim to be a doctor. I just repeat what they said.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-malaria-drug.html

RUDY GIULIANI says he has approached his advocacy of hydroxychloroquine like he did with the cases he prosecuted:

“One of the things that a good litigator becomes, is you kind of become an instant expert on stuff, & then you forget about it.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-malaria-drug.html

RUDY'S WORLD'S COLLIDE: The first time @RudyGiuliani spoke to the New York doctor pushing hydroxychloroquine, VLADIMIR ZELENKO, he accidentally called him "Dr. ZELENSKY."

The doctor's response to Giuliani: "No, it’s not the president of the Ukraine.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-malaria-drug.html
