Russia! Vid: McCaskill: ‘Does Putin Have a Stake' in Hydroxychloroquine?
[Breitbart] Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," network political commentator and former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) wondered if President Donald Trump has been pushing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus patients because Russia President Vladimir Putin has a "stake" in the drug.

McCaskill said she finds it "baffling" Trump and members of his base back hydroxychloroquine. She argued "it has to be money" in some way fueling the support for the drug's use.

"I really am interested on this hydroxychloroquine," McCaskill emphasized. "I'm interested to ask Jonathan Lemire, as he's in the press room and as he's working his sources and his news agency is working sources. I'm assuming there's investigative types out there following the money on hydroxy, because it’s the only thing that makes sense, you know. You know, does Putin have a stake in hydroxy? You know, is the Deutsche Bank backing hydroxy?"

She continued, "It is baffling to me that there is such a chorus within the Trump base and the Trump media outlets and Trump about this drug. It has to be money. Is somebody looking at that? Is there any hope that we're going to find that there's somebody who's making real money off this?"
Who benefits by suppressing hydroxychloroquine? Who has a stake in a vaccine?

#1 The trouble with this drug is that it is very cheap and very effective, so that nobody can expect to make moneya from its use and that use in practice lowers the death rate per victim by a factor of at least 5 as has been shown in many studies.
This means that four out of five deaths in new york were preventible if the it and an antibiotic and zinc were administered starting immediately after diagnosis.
This in turn means that the virus would be no more lethal than the ordinary flu if such treatments were routinely given to victims. And this means that all the laboratories inventors and others who think they might have a potential tretment or vaccination, for it and hope to gaim from it are united against it, along those who object to it because Trump publicized it.

#2 following the money on hydroxy, because it’s the only thing that makes sense, you know.

Lots 'O Money at 17 cents per pill at GoodRX. McCaskill has been breathing fumes from her private jet again.

#4 We have the biggest 'stake' if anyone does. Indian company Zydus was selling 100% of the anti-malarial thingy to Russia long before this happened.

Russia.... The only problem progressives have with Russia is that Soros' illegitimate offspring are not allowed to breathe in a country like Russia. And the Pope's not welcome to set foot in it. Maybe that's why it's always Russia.

#5 So McCaskill is angling for a permanent TV gig, and is working out the formula.
(1) Go on TV
(2) Say something stupid
(3) Lunch
(4) Tomorrow, repeat.
She'll have to work hard to catch up to 'black hole' Don Lemon.
