TUCSON, Ariz., May 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Governments are hoarding more than 100 million doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) while victims of COVID-19 are dying from lack of early treatment, which an increasing number of physicians and scientists believe is crucial for saving lives. In many places, particularly in nursing homes, victims of COVID-19 are still unable to access HCQ, states the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS).
Pharmaceutical companies donated tens of millions of doses of HCQ to federal and state governments. At least 14.4 million doses of HCQ have been distributed to 14 city governments, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced.
Yet virtually none of this has gone for early treatment of COVID-19 victims. Many governors and other officials have impeded the availability of HCQ to millions of Americans, including front-line medical personnel in hospitals, COVID-19 patients' caregivers, and others exposed to the virus.
"Medication is not doing anyone any good sitting in a government warehouse," observes AAPS executive director Jane Orient, M.D. "This hoarding by government means that most of that medication will probably expire without ever being used."
U.S. deaths from COVID-19 are estimated to exceed 65,000; very few of these patients received any treatment with HCQ. Reports to date of results in more than 2,300 persons who received HCQ show that more than 90 percent experienced clinical improvement or did not become ill."
Let the families of those slain by the virus file suit for wrongful death and malpractice.
Politicians and bureaucrats should not be practicing medicine without a license - which, by tying the doctor's hands on treating patients and the hoarding of the drug, these politicians and bureaucrats have done.
Great org!

Where is the Hydroxychloroquine? Is it in the CVS, RiteAid, and Walgreens where it should be? No, and who the hell knows where it is.
One thing for sure, not where it's needed. Not where it could be saving lives and unnecessary suffering!!!
