(1) OP said big pharma wants to downplay HCQ because it doesnt make them as much money.
(2) reply says that the fact that pharma donated millions of doses contradicts that
(3) OP counters that pharma is donating millions of doses because it gives them an epic tax write-off
it has nothing to do with donations being bad. it has to do with the fact that pharma is always doing whats best for them, and if its also best for patients that's a happy coincidence, but they frequently act in opposite of whats best for patients (e.g. price gouging on insulin, in this case possibly downplaying the efficacy of a cheap drug HCQ), and that's something we should notice and call out
