How much taxpayer money was involved to develop it?
Here are a few elements of Professor Raoult’s testimony, which was done under oath. Please refer to the full interview in French for details.
Recommendation of an inquiry into Gilead / Remdesivir
Professor Raoult suggested the members of parliament that an investigation takes place into Gilead Science. He is very adamant about a negative role having been played by the corporation during the pandemic. For him, Gilead Science’s drug, Remdesivir, initially developed for Ebola, never was a realistic option for treating COVID-19 patients. He also mentioned the stock exchange speculation that took place in connection with information becoming available regarding remdesivir and HCQ. He sees Gilead as a company operating with little personnel, with few products, but with tremendous influence.
Conflicts of Interest Abound in the Medical Profession
A significant part of the testimony of Professor Raoult was about the various conflicts of interest in the medical sector. He reminded how declarations of conflicts of interest came about in the medical field, as pharmaceutical companies have provided financial support and other benefits, including trips, for years, to medical doctors. He mentioned the example of Merck having offered fake professional trips to China to French doctors. Without using the word corruption, he suggested such “ecosystem” brings doctors to share similar views as the pharmaceutical industry.
Anonymous Death Threats Originating from Individual with Links to Gilead
Professor Raoult testified that, shortly after he started to talk about HCQ as a treatment, in March, he received anonymous death threats. He filed a complaint with the police, and an enquiry was opened by the French judiciary. The medical doctor behind the threats was found and happens to be from a Nantes university hospital. It happened to be the person who received the most money from Gilead over the past 6 years. Professor Raoult presents this as a “personal experience.” In his testimony, he remained diplomatic and suggested “to be attentive to this level of problem.”
Professor Raoult said he had been shocked to see the French doctor in charge of the SOLIDARITY clinical trials, which have yielded no results so far and seem to go nowhere, to use the informal “tu” and not “vous” to Gilead’s director at a meeting, in front of the French president and health minister. Professor Raoult, whose father was a military medical doctor, said that he is not used to be talked to in such an informal way.
No Direct Attack on President Macron and Health Minister Véran
Professor Raoult pointed at important mistakes done by the French government, including the prohibited usage of hydroxychloroquine outside of hospital settings, and the new restrictions on azithromycin. Yet he mostly blamed incompetent advisors to the health minister and to the president. He said he continued to have communication channels, during the crisis, at the highest level. He only named names in the case of the medication authority ANSM and the public health authority HCSP.
I’m not surprised.
Some IV antibiotics are incredibly expensive per dose.
Don’t worry. The Federal Reserve will just print up a couple $billion and credit directly to the government service account.
stimulus!

Developed for ebola and failed at that.
It doesn’t work for the China virus, either.
Vitamin C
Vitamin D3
Vitamin E
Zinc
Mind you, this will result in a run on Centrum Silver and One-A-Day 50+ Healthy Advantage vitamins starting in August 2020. 🙄
Meanwhile the successful low cost treatment of hcq + azithromycin + Zn and if necessary Decadron is being put to the side.....
I took Eliquis for three months. It cost me $500 a month.................
How much stock does Fauci or members of his family own?
Follow the money.....
Somebody is planning getting rich.
this is why all the lies against the trifecta (of CHEAP and plentiful proven pills) that cures almost all cases of this virus
someone wants to get rich by selling some new expensive med

What was the cost of remdesivir before CV-19? What’s the cost of HCQ?
In pre wuhan virus days, typically the American drugmaker producing such drugs, inked deals with Chinese manufacturers to manufacture them in China. I noted that Gilead recently inked deals exclusively with five large Indian and Pakistani manufacturers to make the drug. Hopefully this is a harbinger of the end of the line for our drug supply chain being controlled by the CCP as we try to realign some of the medical supply chain away from them in the interim with the ultimate goal of moving much of it back to the US.
