I differentiate between preventions and cures (not at all qualified in medicine - feel free to correct me).
If Bolsonaro called it a cure, this still falls in my bucket of (early) "treatment". I don't participate in Brasilian society, but that still sounds to me that Bolsonaro was promoting HCQ as a _cure_. I can conceive that he was (erroneously) promoting cures, while still signing contracts for vaccines (preventions).
March 2021, Cambodia has its actual first death from the virus.
Why?
They didn't listen to all the establishment people when they said "The OTC drug you've been taking your whole life to keep from being a brain-damaged malaria case is too dangerous to be used to treat Covid 19, Orange Man Bad pulled that out of his ass and also told people to drink bleach!"
Notice that noone in the Establishment is having to answer any questions as to why they banned HCQ based on a fraudulent study. Or why someone went and had a fraudulent study created in the first place. Or was able to get it into The Lancet.
It would be nice if someone asked Fauci these questions at a White House press conference.
