The case of the Covid-19 drug shows how national interests will continue to define the allocation of research products, says Prof Devi Sridhar

Donald Trump has called Covid-19 a hoax, encouraged his followers to take hydroxychloroquine and threatened to cut all ties between the US and the World Health Organization. He has predicted that coronavirus will disappear one day, like a miracle, organised indoor rallies with no masks during the height of the pandemic and encouraged public health officials to slow down testing, because carrying out tests results in a larger number of confirmed cases.

Liver Failure? Remdesivir aka GS-5734 invented by the USAMRIID US Army in Ft Dietrich Maryland and tested on prepandemic Bat Coronaviruses at UNC Chapel Hill. The 2001Anthrax also came from Ft Dietrich- Vaccine for Anthrax &Covid made by Bioport now EBS Emergent Biosolutions

There's other treatment, cheaper and with less strain on the patients.

devisridhar America is run by a guru and his cult.

devisridhar But luckily Remdesivir is pretty useless and is very expensive, so he's doing the world a favour. 😏😉

If it's made in America then I would gather that Americans expect him to prioritize them 1st. I'd expect Boris to do the same for the those living in the UK.

I wish he'd scoop up some sense.

devisridhar Don’t worry COVID19 will soon be eliminated from Scotland

devisridhar He will need it the way things are going.

devisridhar I don't think he can take it all himself, maybe family and friends?

devisridhar Have looked at the papers published on Remdesivir, not a specialist, but looks fairly weak data? Would like some genuine scientific study by respected scientists on this...

$3,000 for a pill. Guess who own stocks?

devisridhar Not surprising though. America always puts America first. Remember?

devisridhar Knock yourself out Trumpleforeskin... itsnotacure

devisridhar But Brexiters believe he will give us some crumbs. realDonaldTrump likes to deal with nations rather than blocs because the USA is always relatively more powerful. Onlt China and the EU can take on the USA

devisridhar Wonder if he’s learned how to pronounce it yet!? 🙄

Devi Sridhar is SNP low life, not a credible scientist. In the week of the Hillsborough verdict.. Nicola Sturgeon poses for THAT picture. Holding up a copy of the Sun, endorsing it as it endorses her…

It's not a sign of things to come if Biden wins the election.

uranomar America first.

Still don’t know what he wants with Edward and Bella’s creepy daughter

To be fair (difficult I know) but he’s always been upfront about his World View “America First”.

We gonna buy up all the garbage talismans and not have any money for the real treatment when it comes

Gilead should be thrown out of Europe if it sells all this to one country

The rich lives and the poor dies. 🤦‍♂️

Nothing new, America has been egoistic like this for many years.

Call the world police!

Just like China were scooping up the world's PPE and HCQ and other needy probables, and 6 weeks before anyone had a clue what was happening. On top of that the cheeky bastards sold all the faulty stuff back to us. But yeah, orange man bad...

Yep trump putting his country first, hopefully it is a sign of things to come for other countries as well

One more charge to add to the list, Trump. We’ll be seeing you in The Hague right after your ass is kicked out of the White House.

What about Hancock buying 1 million Hydroxychloroquine?

Great.... Now he can charge everyone for it.

Nationalism is a disease.

How is this any different to France hoarding PPE, forcing a pre-existing NHS order to be cancelled in March? Where is the Guardian outrage about that...

Chaos and incompetence?
