forbidding prophylactic use
Ducey’s order said pharmacists could dispense the drugs but only as a treatment for patients who are confirmed to have coronavirus and who have a prescription from their doctors saying as much. The order strictly prohibits dispensing the drug as a preventive measure, “unless peer-reviewed evidence citing prophylactic effectiveness becomes available.”
Patrick saysforbidding prophylactic use
Patrick, do you know what this means ?
To go further into what this means, one could say that the governor is withholding preventive medicine deliberately in order to cause more people to die.
Some 4,000 individuals have now been given what are considered to be COVID doses of Hydroxychloroquine, and not one cardiac conduction problem has been noted.
Opinion
Historical controls are used in many previous studies in medicine. In this respect, the safety of Hydroxychloroquine is well documented. When the safe use of this drug is projected against its apparent effect of decreasing the progression of early cases to ventilator use, it is difficult to understand the reluctance of the authorities in charge of U.S. pandemic management to recommend its use in early COVID-19 cases. The effects of the chloroquines were first outlined 15 years ago by the CDC's own Special Pathogens Unit.

drug that has a finit supply
Seemed reasonable, considering Trump has decided to be a cheerleader for the drug that has a finit supply and many known illnesses for which it has known efficacy.You know what else has a finite supply? Pretty much anything and everything. "[something] has a finite supply" is a non-statement.
Just what we need. People hoarding it, you know, just in case.
Yes, there have been shortages reported, and there are people that need the drug for conditions it's very well known to work for.
they all seem to keep disappearing.
Blinded by Trump Devotion syndrome.
When the pandemic started in US, WHO and CDC asked people to not use masks as they said "masks dont work" because there is shortages of masks. Now economy is fuc***.
your bloody ego....
I fear this may be true. Although I don't know where the lies came from exactly. Maybe they felt they had to lie so that the US would have enough masks for it's hospitals, at that moment.
:Your statement assumes that HCQ works as promoted by some.
Only republicans can be this mindless.
Sure, some republicans listen to reason. You have to know there was a run on the drug in Arizona, by old people that didn't need it.
You complain about Republicans being "mindless" (and BTW - I'm NOT a republican) but then you repeat what appears to be a completely false story about old people somehow causing a run on a drug that they'd need to get a prescription to get.. Actually, MD's were suddenly prescribing it right & left and it was difficult to get for awhile there.
How could this have happened? They would need a prescription
effectiveness from multiple sources. You can check those too
2) Doctors were dying all over Europe in the initial stages of this pandemic. Now they report that they are taking HCQ and now we rarely hear about doctors dying.
Chloroquine phosphate has shown apparent efficacy in treatment of COVID-19 associated pneumonia in clinical studies.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus is spreading rapidly, and scientists are endeavoring to discover drugs for its efficacious treatment in China. Chloroquine phosphate, an old drug for treatment of malaria, is shown to have apparent efficacy and acceptable safety against COVID-19 associated pneumonia in multicenter clinical trials conducted in China. The drug is recommended to be included in the next version of the Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Pneumonia Caused by COVID-19 issued by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China for treatment of COVID-19 infection in larger populations in the future.
