Could the reason be because bill Gates, chicken little dr Fauci , Hillary Clinton to name a few are heavily invested in it.
$37 for a supply of 100 pills for Hydroxychloroquine
Remdesivir costs on average $4,500 per treatment
The cost difference is there only because one drug is newer and the other is old. The new drug always has to carry the costs of development with it at the first, as that's when the expense is the greatest. If a new drugs' research and manufacturing are really expensive, that drug can cost a lot for a long time.
If drug companies can't recoup the costs, they go out of business. Most experimental drugs fail, even when they cost a fortune to develop.
If hydroxy worked the best of the two, remdesivir would have likely never have been prescribed very much in the beginning.
Right now, with the entire world infected with a lethal disease, it isn't costs that made remdesivir a go-to Covid-19 fighter. It was the fact there are so few drugs that work and the demand for them is so great.
How many people were prescribed remdesivir before the pandemic? Millions, maybe? But for sure, there are now billions who may need it now. How much will it cost to produce enough to keep billions from dying?
I don't know. A lot. Tons and tons of a single drug. When a good company has only ever produced pounds instead of tons, the costs of huge production aren't going to be cheap. A complicated chemical compound isn't cheap to reproduce by another company, either.
When there are billions of potential consumers, the price really doesn't matter any more once the costs of production are covered.. The manufacturer will always come out very well financially at any price if there are a billion customers for any product.
And there are 4 billion human beings on Earth. Any or all of them could benefit from remdesivir, so the company will be satisfied with its income. There is no way it can't at any price level.
Remdesivir has been given for free to treat right now.
Remdesivir is being studied and shown to be effective - in medical studies around the world.
Hydroxychloroquine has had a few studies but more have shut down then have proven to support it as a successful treatment -- except for the one questionable report from the politically driven group of doctors.
Its not given away because it will be free. I have no problem with the role of a profit motive but its within the scope of possibility to create a bias. One problem with expensive studies is only drugs that promise huge profits can afford to make them. There is less money to research widely available drugs because it cannot come put of a private commercial budget .
This is something people on the left would talk about but looks like lots of people decided to switch sides.
Why is everyone so bent out of shape by use of oxygen? Whether he was placed on it at the White House became moot when he got to Walter Reed and it was determined he did not need it, which is the point his doctor kept making.
Because requiring oxygen is what allows you to use some of the drugs use on Trump, his drs attempted to lie about the answer....and did so with a bit of stunningly bad liar theater.
If he never needed oxygen he would have never been prescribed the drugs he had. His Dr actually kept avoiding the answer that yes trump needed oxygen. And its the lies that make folks believe a 15 yr old saying Trump is sicker then is being let out over the statements by a fully qualified Dr.

They most likely are, either directly or through a fund.
Nothing factual ties Fauci to Remdesivir. He did not invent it. He does not hold the patent on it. He is not an investor in Gilead Sciences who holds the patent.
People believe anything when it seems to validate their perception. Facts are unnecessary.
They are also linking it with Bill Gates and from I gather they believe this time that Fauci and Gates ran a biological weapons factory in Wuhan to either make a lot of money through kickbacks and/or to usher in socialism.
According to a source aka guy with Twitter account.

Maybe because the remdesivir is proving to have way better results.
