the emergency use authorization (EUA) to use hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat COVID-19 in certain hospitalized patients when a clinical trial is unavailable or participation is not feasible. We made this determination based on recent results from a large, randomized clinical trial in hospitalized patients that found these medicines showed no benefit for decreasing the likelihood of death or speeding recovery. This outcome was consistent with other new data, including those showing the suggested dosing for these medicines are unlikely to kill or inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19.”
Recently, the Ohio Pharmacy Board backed off a ban of hydroxychloroquine. They said it’s not in response to President Trump praising the drug.
“Basically, it’s a patient safety issue,” Cameron McNamee, the board’s director of policy and communications, told The Columbus Dispatch before the board reversed its decision. “We’re looking at the best science to determine what’s best for the patients of Ohio.”
So what do you think? While both sides are saying different things, the facts don’t lie.
Find out how many people have been “cured” using hydroxychloroquine. Find out how many local doctors and hospitals in your community are using it or have stopped using it and why. Talk to those who have recovered if you can and find out how.
Talk to your doctor. Know your rights. And most of all, know the truth.
