        These programs were *fast*. (Just over one year from formation of board to coordinate work on malaria to getting the first therapeutics shipped.)

        There might be better coverage elsewhere but best I've found is in medical chapters of https://www.amazon.com/Scientists-against-James-Phinney-Baxter/dp/0262520125 ….

        Bush also covers some of it in his memoir: https://www.amazon.com/Pieces-action-Vannevar-Bush/dp/B0006CAJ44 ….

        Indeed 🙈. Chloroquine has antiviral properties, but, yes, that’s a mistake.

        Perhaps, although any such account should make note of the week+ where the Chinese government sent their gestapo to threaten those sounding the alarm.

        This was a time before the government was occupied at the highest levels with people lobbying on behalf of these industries, people who will push back at every step along the way to ensure they make as much money as possible
