Navarro: Administration sitting on millions of doses of hydroxychloroquine

Malaria drugs fail to help in coronavirus studies - Los Angeles Times

President Trump’s top trade and manufacturing adviser Peter Navarro said that the government was “sitting on” millions of doses of hydroxychloroquine after the Food and Drug Administration revoked emergency use authorization for the unproven coronavirus treatment.

“We’re in the middle of a pandemic where over one thousand Americans died today,” Navarro said to reporters outside the White House on Wednesday. “One thousand Americans died yesterday. And if you have a medicine that there’s relatively little or no downside risk and possible upside, why would you not let the American people have it? And right now the American people really can’t have it because I can’t ship it to distributors or hospitals, because the FDA doesn’t allow it for off-label use, and almost half the states have strict regulators, who won’t allow doctors to prescribe.”

Navarro has championed the drug as a safe and effective prophylactic for the coronavirus and criticized the FDA’s decision, which has it called “precipitous” and “based on bad science.”

Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-malarial used commonly to treat a range of autoimmune disorders, including Lupus. Its efficacy for fighting the coronavirus is unproven.

The administration acquired more than 60 million doses before the FDA restricted hydroxychloroquine’s off-label use, amid conflicting study results.

Trump said he took the drug for two weeks after coming into contact with a person who later tested positive for the virus.

The last thing they want is a cure, for the targeted population for this virus.

The MIC (Medical Industrial Complex) has ascended to the top of the food chain, and their robots in the healthcare industry are completely indoctrinated into the myth of this virus being the deadly pathogen, that can only be stopped with home made masks, and the elimination of all social contact, and gatherings (for the rest of us, not for them)

I know, I just visited with my cousins, who are both emergency room Drs. and are on vacation in my neck of the woods. The whole family did not follow any sort of social distancing or wear masks, those activities are for the regular jackoffs that they work on, in there theater of “Medical arts”

I don’t remember; is it the judicial or the legislative branch the FDA reports to?

A leading professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health has come out strongly in favor of HCQ therapy. His recent op-ed posted by Newsweek sums it up:

Great. You might feel better, but you won’t see better.

Many systemic medications may cause retinal toxicity. One such commonly used medication for dermatologic and rheumatologic inflammatory conditions is hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), a chloroquine derivative. It is used to treat many diseases including malaria, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Retinal toxicity from hydroxychloroquine is rare, but even if the medication is discontinued, vision loss may be irreversible and may continue to progress. It is imperative that patients and physicians are aware of and watch for this drug’s ocular side effects. And before treatment is initiated with hydroxychloroquine, a complete ophthalmic examination should be performed to determine any baseline maculopathy.

Ophthalmologists should also follow the most current screening guidelines established by the Academy,1 recently revised in light of new findings.
