united states president donald trump suggested the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine could help cure covid-19, but dr. anthony fauci, who is part of the white house's official coronavirus team said no one could know if hydroxychloroquine worked against sars-cov-2. in early april, the "new york times" reported that president trump has "a small personal financial interest" in sanofi, one of the companies that makes hydroxychloroquine, meaning that if the company sold more hydroxychloroquine, he would have more wealth.
