Tagamet Research, AIDS Epidemic and COVID-19 Parallels
Dr. Stuart Jean Bramhall recounts her 1986 research into using Tagamet, an ulcer medication, to treat AIDS-related complex symptoms. She draws parallels between the suppression of cheap, off-patent drugs during the AIDS crisis and the current controversy surrounding hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19. She suggests that pharmaceutical companies lack the financial incentive to research existing drugs when expensive vaccines and new therapies are more profitable.
