No, there was interest because this was used in South Korea. Then, trump said a thing, everyone lost their minds, studies were rushed, the press lied about intermediate statistically-insignificant results, and it was a complete embarrassment to the medical community. The politicization of a medicine has been one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.

This seems to have been going on since Wakefield and the anti-vaxers; and one of the big reasons for rejecting chloroquine was exactly that it was being promoted by a whole infrastructure of dodgy quack websites. Which is undoubtedly where Trump got the idea from.
