He is refusing to allow Texas to use Hydroxychloroquine.
Not so! I personally know someone in TX who legitimately had COVID (she’s in her early 40s, got REALLY sick, one of those cases where her immune system couldn’t fight it alone). After 2 weeks of misery and 2 worthless ER visits, she found a Dr. who would prescribe it to her (in TX). It took 4 days for her to start feeling better.
Also, her teens were in the house the whole time and none of them caught it.
I’m not sure exactly which Dr. it was, but it was one of the American Frontline Doctors (the ones who spoke in DC). She contacted their Houston office, they asked for her PCP and sent the prescription to her pharmacy. Not sure what they charged, but she’s 100% better!
But the thing isn't killing people, it's actually pretty mild. Loss of smell lingers, and symptoms can vary but it isn't deadly unless a person has some issues already.
I interpret his comment as there being a diff between allowing its use when you are deathly ill, and actively promoting its use as a prophylactic to keep people from being sick.
Fair enough. The way I read it is that there’s an all out ban on prescribing the drug when there isn’t.
Wanted to help clarify and add a story of a legit case, this is the only one I personally know of where it ended up being very bad for an otherwise healthy person, everyone else got over it in 4 days without meds

Post the doctor, because that is an exception and people need to know.

No doctor we've asked will prescribe it unless you medically prove Lupus or certain other conditions.
We even left messages with Frontlinedoctors, the group who protested at the SCOTUS.
Congressman Gohmert got it, you say your friend got it.... need to see it because we sure as heck cannot get it.

We contacted them several times, no reply...
Everyone's mileage seems to vary.

But thanks.
