President Donald Trump has a āsmall financial interestā in the maker of an anti-malarial drug that he has been touting as a āgame changerā in treating coronavirus,
according to The New York Times. Over the past two weeks, Trump and
his Fox News allies have
aggressively promoted hydroxychloroquine as a potential cure, despite top infectious-disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci and others
urging caution and noting that there was not enough evidence of the drugās efficacy.
The
