It was a political effort in the US to suppress the news surrounding HCQ treatment protocol. The effectiveness of early stage treatment was pretty good.

The usefull idiots were primed to chant "but it is not tested on Covid", and they did. A study was done here in the US strangely mostly on patients who were late stage. The study got a lot of news in the media, but the context of what patients had been treated was not headlined. The general public knew nothing more.

Some doctors in the US had treated over 600 patients with none dying. They tried to get the news out, and were largely ignored, except for efforts to pressure their employers to fire them.

Here is the thing, there was nothing in the hands of doctors except ventillators (well so they said at least). But there was a 40 year history of HCQ use all over the world. The stuff is dirt cheap. Ivermectin another component in the treatment protocol also dirt cheap, it would have been easy to divert production for human applications as it is used as a dewormer in animals (no subscription).
And the beauty of it is, the everyone can make it, and it was mostly produced in 3rd world countries. It would have been easy to ramp up production in weeks, maybe months. But that didn't happen.

It was made unavailable by all means necessary. It it still isn't today, not in the US at least.

People died because of politics.
