And from what she said in the video, India lifted it hours after his request when he talked to Prime Minister Modi

India partially lifted ban on hydroxychloroquine hours after US President Donald Trump requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to export the drug to aid America's fight against the deadly Covid-19 disease.

Then at the press conference he was asked about it and that is when the retaliation threat came.

To me it reads like they lifted the ban before his retaliation comment

And that the French magazine that published a small study claiming this stuff works withdrew the study since it was scientifically dubious?

Fighting with India, though, is very dumb right now. That country produces many of the drugs we need to survive a ton of things.

He is profiting from it, he has financial interest. I saw that a few days ago. I’m not sure if you meant to respond to me or not, but yes sure I know.

I saw an article or two that essentially said that he has an investment in the company that makes and/or distributes it, but I wonder why no one in the MSM has brought it up.

One would think that would be an enormous story - all they every do is wonder aloud 'why is he pushing this unproven drug?' without laying it out. I thought for sure Rachael's show would have covered it as they are generally geared toward following the money - especially where Trump Inc is concerned.

How can people be so hateful, so willfully ignorant and merciless, so evil. We like to think that the evil of this country is concentrated in a few well heeled wealthy people but that shit is built upon a bedrock of like minded garbage eaters. They eat up what they are being fed wholesale and it doesn't have anything to do with any sort of anxiety.

Running against someone the right wingers hated I’m sure you know many who did not vote for trump, they voted against Hillary. He’s going down in the greatest landslide in history.

It’s disgusting, I still have hope that some of them have woke up. Most of them clearly have not! Every damn time that orange airhead tweets, you see all these posts “Best President Evah!” He’s the best of their lifetime, ugh. Just what in the hell has he don’t that’s so damn great? I don’t see a damn thing

needs to do the same thing, shut him down. They need to bully him and not the other way around.

That's why we are in this deadly mess.
