“As we break here for a recess, it is important to remember that COVID is still a very serious threat, and a little under 2,000 people a day are dying of it. I have been contacted by medical professionals in my district who feel there is too much pressure to use remdesivir and not enough opportunity to use ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine to treat this horrific disease. This is unprecedented that people would step in. As I understand it, hospitals are billing out over $3,000 a day for remdesivir, but they may be getting under $50 or $60 a day for ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine. The combination of doctors being prevented from doing what they want and the fact that some people are making a lot more money on one drug than the other is something the press should be looking into, and it is something I think our Oversight and Reform Committee should be looking into. I hope if anybody is paying attention, you pick up on this story and see what the real background is. I am not an expert on the topic, but experts on the topic do believe that people are dying unnecessarily. ____________________”
