Is it possible to corner the market on a generic drug that is produced across the world?
- kevingadd 7y agoGiven the widespread shortages of the drug, you could operate on a 'rising tide lifts all boats' model here and if you're one of only 3 large scale suppliers you know that you and your competitors will all be selling more product. I don't think it makes sense as a reasoning for boosting HCQ, though, and there are more obvious reasons why he'd promote it. If you want to make money this isn't how you do it.
- threeseed 7y agoWho says you need to corner the market ? It's much easier to ramp up production than start an entirely new process with a new drug. And given we are talking about timeframes of weeks and months and not years all of the existing manufacturers will have a significant lead.
