Let's visit our former Secretary of Defense, D0nald Rumsf3ld, whose big-pharma history liea in, which company is it again? Oh, yes...Gilead Sciences:
"From January 1997 until being sworn in as the 21st Secretary of Defense in January 2001, Rumsfeld served as chairman of Gilead Sciences, Inc. Gilead Sciences is the developer of Tamiflu (Oseltamivir), which is used in the treatment of bird flu. As a result, Rumsfeld's holdings in the company grew significantly when avian flu became a subject of popular anxiety during his later term as Secretary of Defense. Following standard practice, Rumsfeld recused himself from any decisions involving Gilead, and he directed the Pentagon's General Counsel to issue instructions outlining what he could and could not be involved in if there were an avian flu pandemic and the Pentagon had to respond.."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_RumsfeldTamiflu turned out to be a huge fail in treating the "already-mutated" avian flu virus, yet, with countless millions of the drug having already been manufactured, it went on to be approved and sold as THE ONE effective seasonal flu drug-of choice, until finally sold OTC.
