During the announcement, Fauci said he had an ethical obligation to reveal that remdesivir appeared to shorten recovery times, so patients taking a placebo could have access to it.
If we just look at the worst-hit parts of mainland China, there are around 11.1 million people in the city of Wuhan and approximately 61.9 million in Hubei province. Of course, that's not to say that the entire population would end up taking the drug, but even if we say that around half the province's population, maybe 30 million, take remdesivir on a preventative basis, Gilead would still make a lot of money.
In that situation, the total addressable market in just Hubei would be worth $7.8 billion, assuming the previous $260 price target for the drug. In comparison, Gilead's Q4 2019 revenue came in at $5.8 billion.
This hydroxychloroquine price guide is based on using the Drugs.com discount card which is accepted at most U.S. pharmacies. The cost for hydroxychloroquine oral tablet 200 mg is around $37 for a supply of 100 tablets, depending on the pharmacy you visit. Prices are for cash paying customers only and are not valid with insurance plans.

no - but it was the most obvious and egregious " error // lie " the title PHD should have tipped you off but ...................

The clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine were not good. The drug did not prove effective, and it's actually a really dangerous drug that could kill people who probably would have lived through Covid.

That being said, about 25% of patients receiving it have severe side effects, including multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome, septic shock, acute kidney injury and low blood pressure. Another 23% demonstrated evidence of liver damage on lab tests.
