Someone forgot to tell the state 'healthcare' directors and petty dictator governors.

They have finally started to be exposed for all of the HCQ lies or this statement would never have been made.

I think he forgot to mention that Dr. Fauci must also give his approval.

And yet the journalist in this article has to end the article saying that overwhelming evidence shows that HCQ has no effect. Even though the number of studies that show it does have effect is so much higher than the few studies that had no effect.

Lots of studies.... https://c19study.com/

HCQ should be available over the counter same as aspirin and all those cold remedies.

It is nuts that you, Mister FDA chief, let people die alone and in pain. HCQ should never be held over our heads again.

It's not though. Anyone not getting prescribed the drug has nothing to do with the FDA and everything to do with the doctors. The doctors are allowed to prescribe for off label use and have always been.

Also, not sure what the FDA has to do with people dying 'alone' 😕

So why did the FDA pull the authorization to use it for COVID????

They didn't. Not in the way you're thinking. This is the brilliance of obfuscation and keeping everyone distracted.

They pulled the Emergency Use Authorization which is a legal designation but that's not actually saying 'you can't use it'.

The EUA is a legal designation that has some teeth in some ways but not, actually.

It allows for the distribution of HCQ from the Strategic National Stockpile (you know, since it's a perfectly safe drug that is on the top list of essential medicines across the world, nations stockpile that shit) to hospitalized covid-19 cases (you know, the cases that severely reduce the likelihood of efficacy of the drug)

So, the EUA is just a classification status that allows for that specific distribution channel. NOT having -- or the revocation of -- that designation means nothing in regard to the ability to prescribe it. Nothing other than 'confidence' and 'perception', that is.

Therein lies the 'teeth, but not'. The revocation means 'you can prescribe it, we're just not giving it to you from the stockpile'. Teeth, but not.

However, the very nature of 'The FDA Revokes Authorization for HCQ Emergency Use for Covid' has an attitudinal effect. Most people just read 'revokes' next to 'HCQ use for Covid' and it paints a quick picture.

And since most folks don't have time to read FDA press releases, policy papers, and articles diving into the actual explanation (which never get to the fucking explanation till after 5 paragraphs of making SURE you understand that Orange Man Bad and due to several recent bullshit studies that involve giving HCQ to people days away from death didn't have a Lazarus Effect, HCQ has not shown to be of any help) they just go 'Oh, FDA revoked the use of HCQ therefore the debate is settled.'

And, sadly enough, that includes many doctors as well. If, you know, their politics align in a certain direction.

Shame, really.
