Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan Governor, Hydroxychloroquine Crackdown Sparks Backlash
Washington Times via GOPUSA ^ | 3/30/20

**SNIP**

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs issued an order Wednesday warning physicians against writing prescriptions “without a legitimate medical purpose” and instructing pharmacists to evaluate the “legitimacy” of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine prescriptions.

**SNIP**

“[I]f you live in Michigan, and you or a loved one is infected with this potentially lethal disease, you’re out of luck,” said Kathy Hoekstra, who has written for conservative, in a Thursday op-ed for the Detroit News. “Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs literally threatened all doctors and pharmacists in the state who prescribe or dispense hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.”

**SNIP**

“For Gov. Whitmer to deny Michigan residents access to one of the only treatments that has shown promise in helping patients with coronavirus is unfair,” said Ms. Vaughn. “She’s playing with people’s lives. To treat these patients and their physicians as criminals is unconscionable.”

Whitmer seems to be a recalcitrant juvenile. Treating covid will be considered legitimate. The wording is so that docs dont prescribe it for stockpiling....just in case they or their families or friends do get it. Look how many true aholes hoarded all that toilet paper for no reason except selfish fear.

No, MICHIGANDERS are not “stupid” any more than any whole state is “stupid.”

We cannot control how anyone, especially Detroit and Wayne County, votes

If Gov. “Half” Whitmer’s outlawing the use of hydroxychloroquine continues, one can only hope that no ChiCom virus victims die, who voted for Whitmer’s opponent in 2018.

“She has zero understanding about FDA off-label use by physicians and the concept of standard of care that legally allows doctors to treat their patients with the same standard of care in use by professional peers.”

One would think someone like her father would gave explained it to her. He was the head of Blue Cross/Blue Shield in Michigan at one time. Guess lawyers do not understand how real health care works.

"I do understand medicine more than doctors.
Each pelvic exam is equal to 2, maybe 3, years of medical school."

There are lots of petitions circulating on line, but as we are under quarantine that’s about all we can do for now.

Not a doctor.

If your post is correct, then yes, she is. You wrote: "a JD from Detroit College of Law".

Accuracy is important (unless you are working for the main stream media). What you should have written is 'she is not a physician'.

“There are lots of petitions circulating on line, but as we are under quarantine that’s about all we can do for now.”

You can set up petition tables outside grocery stores, Lowes, restaurants, on street corners.

If the bitch tries to stop the petitions, use your sheriffs to protect petition signers. I’m familiar with the Michigan recall process from previous recall campaigns. The state police don’t have the manpower or the political will to stop a legal petition under the protection of a county sheriff.

Drugs used to delay puberty in children and humor the transgender cult are used off label for that purpose. I wonder if she has any objection to that.

It’s obvious that you don’t understand Michigan’s recall process.

“She graduated from Forest Hills Central High School, just outside Grand Rapids”

I honestly did not know this.

Forest Hills is like a more affluent and conservative part of the GR metro area, so I dont think she is hurting for money. Her parents must be the guilty wealthy NPR types that live there and in East Grand Rapids.

"Nevada Governor did the same thing. Taking a swipe at Trump is more important than saving lives to these two. Never forget that NV and MI voters. Never forget that."

Apparently an unintended consequence of Shitsolack in Nevada ordering that one had to be in a hospital to receive the medication was that now our Emergency rooms are overflowing.

This is real damn close to Hannity often saying that if trump found a cure for cancer the democrats would oppose it.

Speaking of exams. Not long after my wife tossed all the makeup in the trash 37 yrs ago, I’ve become an expert at spotting makeup on women’s faces. And the analysis can be done in a couple of seconds or less: the layers, the colors, the fake eyelashes (although in that pic she’s not wearing them, just mascara), and eyebrow work.

My exam noticed no eyebrows, just paint. Possibly some gray brow hairs required just removing them, and ‘painting’ them on.

My wife says the freedom from the stuff is great: no worry about weather, the touchups in the car mirror, the cleaning it off, and all time and money it takes through the years really adds up.

But maybe it kills a virus if it lands on your face?

This woman, Gretchen Whitmer is so stupid that she cannot see that doctors all over are prescribing the maleria drug to fight coronavirus, and yet she is still resistant to it. What a zero!
