So wait...was Secretary Wilkie ... outright lying and making things up? That's how it appears. If that's true about him, it will almost assuredly come out, and he'll have to face the consequences. It could probably be career ending.
You've mentioned more than once that Secretary Wilkie is "a lawyer who is a political appointee". You're obviously trying to diminish the man - whether you'd admit to as much or not. ... See, what bothers me most about this Hydroxychloroquine subject is that there's a vested interest among many to hope that it doesn't work. And why? Because Trump mentioned it. It's a political play. It's tantamount to saying "please, please...don't let Trump get anything positive out of mentioning this drug!" Intellectually honest people would have to admit to as much.

So who should we believe? The scientists at the FDA who say hydroxychloroquine should NOT be used outside of a medical study, OR a lawyer appointed by the President? Based on past experience (Dr. Bright), I wonder how long it will take before heads roll at the FDA.

As for the conspiracy theory about Big Pharma opposing use of hydroxychloroquine because they won't profit much from it, please provide factual support. There are SO many conspiracy theories out there already surrounding Covid-19. Just once, I'd like to see facts instead of conjecture.

The assertion that it could be career-ending for Mr. Wilkie to make a misstatement in support of the President, I almost lost my coffee laughing. In some circles, lying in support of Mr. Trump would be a badge of honor.
