HCQ is available like any other Drug...

Did they turn them away as a sole use only? My understanding is hdq, zinc and another drug in a cocktail is effective, particularly for recovery.

The last sentence is precisely why they pulled it. All politics.

Just another one of trump's fantasies. Probably had friends or donors that profited from trump's touting of this useless treatment.

HCQ clinical study: Recent Yale University study showed the efficacy of HCQ in the treatment of early COVID19. PresTrump's enthusiasm for HCQ as a therapeutic drug was based on the advise of renowned epidemiologists and physicians worldwide.

follow the money.......no one will get rich with this drug

Should have done this earier?

I heard American Physicians Association is suing FDA.

Not enough profit in chloraquine! Plus they want to shoot you up with some BS fix, with God knows what in it!

But overly rushed vaccines will be approved, right?

Fine, but the realDonaldTrump EO giving all Americans the “Right To Try” any medication for off label use should let anyone who wants to try it, get around the “Political Hacks” at the FDA

Doctors all over this nation have said this is helping people when coupled with Zinc......greed is killing this nation.

It's so interesting how the con, out in the open, so clear and blatant, can work on so many people.

Trump’s claws hasn’t dug into the FDA, odd.

President Trump was taking hydroxychloroquine for 'weeks,' because he had heard, 'some good things.' And he doesn't seem to have any adverse effects, other than a reduction in cognitive and verbal functioning; atrophy of his right arm; difficulty balancing and a loss of morals.

Zechariah 14:12 This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

When will FDA head would be berated by Trump on Twitter? Trump FDA US_FDA

And replaced it with what?

VRWCTexan Soooooo, people will die because of politics? Unfuckingbelievable.

Yet another reason why the FDA should be abolished - something the late Milton Friedman campaigned for many years. Its regulations have cost vast numbers of lives and vastly increased delays and costs in medical drugs over many decades.

Will he defund the FDA?

Just because Trump touted about it ? Where is the logic?🙄

Even after fake survey ,

Sadly all political. Credibility gone.

Dr Trump will see you now....

And yet no data is presented that shows why it’s being withdrawn.

Nutz. Let doctors and patients decide.

Not Breaking News: Trump Wrong Again

Wow....so...supressing the cure. What kinda b.s. is this ? All cause ORANGE MAN BAD. FFS

Does that mean doctors won't be allowed to prescribe it for COVID-19?

WHO:- warn UK should not lift lockdown rules until the test and trace system is ready for new COVID19 cases

Because....?

It was always snake oil for covid
