Other than that, yeah I think the government moved quickly when it saw the dept. of health officials had overstepped with their recommendations."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so.

Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostWell, it did highlight the fact that one of the people hyping HCQ to the state government stood to benefit financially from the order. That in and of itself is newsworthy.

Originally posted by YOhio View PostI was also shocked that the CEO of the company that sold HCQ to the state both promoted the drug to the state and benefitted financially from the transaction.

The CEO could have both good public health interests and looking at potential income simultaneously. But with hindsight this should have been better vetted with the department of health. And the commuter school's med school."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"?

Originally posted by YOhio View PostI largely agree, but I don't think hindsight will be terribly helpful when it comes to purchasing decisions made in this pandemic. It was obviously a bad decision unless it was discovered that HCQ really did work and there were global shortages and other stuff that can't be foreseen in a pandemic. Then it would have been a good decision. That it was remedied speaks well of all parties involved.

He should start by looking around at all the tchotchke pharma promo products littering his office and call everyone who gave them to him to figure out whether it was really just a nice friendship gift like they said or if they're actually financially benefitting when he prescribes their drugs.
