The title is misleading.
The price hikes, however, came months before the coronavirus outbreak morphed into a global pandemic, and well before physicians and scientists came to believe chloroquine might prove an effective treatment.
In the past two weeks, Rising Pharmaceuticals slashed the price in half as interest in the drug erupted.
A false news title is worse than pharma companies jacking up prices.
