I am a capitalist and don’t mind others being capitalists. What bothers me is when capitalists become greedy and take advantage of others. It is a crime against others when a capitalist or a group of capitalists work together to rig the free market to their advantage and that is what I think we see now regarding medications that may provide successful treatment of the coronavirus. Those groups or individuals should not be limited to capitalists either. Communists and progressives may be included as a group.
The medications are listed next, but not limited to these: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), Chloroquine (CHQ) and Remdesivire. If these are effective and certain entities have rigged the world to be infected with the coronavirus allowing them to benefit financially, it is criminal. Obviously, the world is suffering from the coronavirus and we don’t have all of the answers yet. But, if a group (nations, such as China, Canada), individuals (Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, Bill Gates, George Soros, Dr. Tedros of the WHO), pharmaceutical companies, hospitals systems, universities, foundations, etc. have conspired to release the COVID19 across the globe and then profit from the sale of the effective medications, it is criminal.
There are many challenges in finding a remedy for the suffering imposed on many people of almost all countries in the world. I have thought for a remedy, but the United States can’t do this alone. My solution is to take control of the production of at least the three medications and not allow any company or shareholder to profit from the effective meds. Require the companies to use their manufacturing facilities to ramp up production of the medications and account for the cost of the med. As production costs are accounted for, pay the manufacturer their costs only. Do not include payment for profit. Keep this up until all who need the treatment have received it and we have a surplus during this crucial time period.
In the U.S., I think that can be done by an Executive Order of the President. If foreign manufacturers are involved, they must cooperate. It is crucial to provide the meds now and sort out the reimbursement of costs later. By doing this, those in need are helped as quickly as possible, the price gouging is eliminated and those businesses that provide the meds are reimbursed. Those companies that attempt to sell the meds with their profit added will not be able to sell, so the profit motive is eliminated. The evil people and entities that are involved in this pandemic are exposed and punished.
We don’t have all of the details of how, but we know it will work if the price gouging is not allowed. Think about it!

The promise: Everyone who needs a test will get a test.
The media distortion: Everyone needs a test.
The reality: No, not everyone needs a test. Not everyone needs the medicine either.
