In 2005, Don Rumsfeld made millions off his holdings in Gilead thanks to a trumped-up bird flu epidemic, for which 60 countries stockpiled Tamiflu. Later studies would show only moderate efficacy for the drug and numerous adverse events, including deaths. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-rumsfeld-makes-5m-killing-bird-flu-drug-6106843.html">https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl...
More recently, Gilead& #39;s drug Remdesivir is still the only drug approved to treat Covid despite the fact that it doesn& #39;t work. Remdesivir was developed at Ft. Detrick with help from chimeric-virus-psycho Ralph Baric to fight Ebola, which it also doesn& #39;t do. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jvchamary/2021/01/31/remdesivir-covid-coronavirus/?sh=52be0de766c2">https://www.forbes.com/sites/jvc...
In Nov 2001, Tony Fauci proposed using Gilead& #39;s drug Cidofovir to treat smallpox in case of a bioterror attack or as an additive to to make smallpox vaccines less toxic. This was being proposed as Rumsfeld, formerly Gilead& #39;s chairman, was Sec& #39;y of Defense. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-107shrg77048/pdf/CHRG-107shrg77048.pdf">https://www.govinfo.gov/content/p...
A later study showed that while Cidofovir did make the smallpox vaccine less toxic, but also "significantly compromised vaccine-elicited immune responses and vaccine-induced immunity." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2612404/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/artic...
