I’m sure sometimes I believe lies but I try hard not to repeat them. But I just replied to someone else so I can just copy and paste for you.

I hate to write a reply as long as this will be but I guess I have to.

Proof of what, his financial interest? It’s small compared to the size of his portfolio.

Or that he has been and continues to tout it’s use as a maybe effective treatment?

““Trump repeated his endorsement of these medications during a Sunday evening press briefing, stating that the US now has a stockpile of over 29 million hydroxychloroquine pills.

“The Times reported that one of Sanofi’s largest shareholders is Fisher Asset Management, a fund set up by political donor Ken Fisher, who has a history of donations to the GOP and contributed to Trump’s 2016 campaign, according to NBC.

“Fisher Investments’ portfolio, and the firm’s ownership is less than 0.7% of Sanofi. A 0.7% stake in Sanofi was, as of early April 8, worth around $775 million.

““Despite the optimism surrounding chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as potential COVID-19 treatments, the drugs can cause severe side effects, and misuse has led to poisoning and even death. Short-term side effects of the medication include nausea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. Serious side effects or prolonged treatment include liver failure, hearing loss, and muscle paralysis.”

““experts warned against overselling a drug yet to be proved a safe remedy, particularly for heart patients. “Yes, the heart stuff,” Mr. Trump acknowledged. Then he headed out to the cameras to promote it anyway. “So what do I know?” he conceded to reporters at his daily briefing. “I’m not a doctor. But I have common sense.”

Day after day, the salesman turned president has encouraged coronavirus patients to try hydroxychloroquine with all of the enthusiasm of a real estate developer. The passing reference he makes to the possible dangers is usually overwhelmed by the full-throated endorsement. “What do you have to lose?” he asked five times on Sunday.”

A lot of people assume the President is the authority, a man to be trusted. So, when he repeatedly talks up a drug many people actually take it seriously. How can it not anger anyone that our President openly pushes an anti-malarial drug that can cause liver failure, hearing loss, muscle paralysis, poisoning or, uh, death? People have died following their trust in the leader of our nation. So, any ownership, no matter how small, in a company that makes a drug pushed by the President but has no discernable beneficial effect but known dangers makes it important.

“What do you have to lose?”

“What do you have to lose?”

“What do you have to lose?”

“What do you have to lose?”

“What do you have to lose?”

Okay, that was all the times he said it on air Sunday alone. I’m sure his twitter feed was active as well along with Fox News.

I appreciated you asked for a source, maybe this will get it out there.
