Novartis is a multinational pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland. By both market capitalization and sales it is one of the largest such companies in the world.

On March 20th, they offered to donate 130 million doses of hydroxychloroquine.

Donald Trump has been blatantly touting hydroxychloroquine & chloroquine without any supporting scientific evidence.

Today, despite Norvartis offering to donate 130 million doses, Trump announced an additional distribution of 29 million doses.

Trump is insistent, against any scientific evidence supporting it, that hydroxychloroquine will cure #COVID19US

He is so insistent and adamant he even cut Dr Fauci off today.

Why is he doing this? There are two reasons..

The first reason..

Novartis got caught paying Michael Cohen (yes that one) $1.2 million for access to Trump.

The second reason..

Novartis announced Thursday that one of it's cancer medications, Jakavi, was entering clinical trials for use in treatment against COVID-19 infections.
