Australian billionaire Clive Palmer purchased 32 million doses of Hydroxychloroquine in April 2020, free for Australians

This is a big of a flashback and hardly qualifies as news per se - but the story is fascinating. Back in April 2020 Australian billionaire politician Clive Palmer had purchased 32M doses of Hudroxychloroquine to treat Australians afflicted with COVID-19. Have you heard that? I know I have not though I generally have been following COVID news closely.

What came of this? I am not sure. At any rate, that was clearly at least an opportunity for a very massive clinical trial. Instead, at least as far as mainstream establishment narrative went, it was all wait for the vaccine, nothing else to do save for trying to keep the heavily afflicted patients alive, HCQ is just something Trump is peddling and what does he know and you don't want to be viewed as a Trumper, do you? Well, this is how it was in the US, to a large degree. I imagine it was similar in Australia and across much of the Western world.

Now that hhis narrative is starting to crumble - could this tidbit be just one more piece of evidence to a massive swindle that may have taken place?
