If you live in Michigan, and you or a loved one is infected with this potentially lethal disease, you’re out of luck.
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.
The agency’s March 24 letter warns physicians and pharmacists of professional consequences for the prescribing of hydroxychloroquine (and chloroquine). Beyond the rational recommendation against hoarding as production of this medication needs to be ramped up, the letter deviates into open threats of “administrative action” against the licenses of doctors that prescribe hydroxychloroquine.
The letter also instructs pharmacists to ignore physician orders for this medication. Due to the debate over a pharmacist’s right to refuse to fill medications that go against their religious beliefs, this could place pharmacists in the unprecedented position of being told that they must fill prescriptions that violate their “conscience (religious belief)” but must not fill prescriptions to treat COVID-19.
Even worse, the letter indicates health care providers are “required to report” their fellow physicians who are prescribing these medications. This draconian measure carries ominous Gestapo-like overtones of neighbor reporting neighbor to “authorities.”

Another Rat Gov that thinks she’s a doctor.
I made the mistake of saying nice things about her when she excluded churches from the quarantine order.
I take it back, I take it all back. This hack is just Jennifer Granholm Part II
Man, if I or someone was sick, we’d cross state lines for treatment options
I want to know that no Michigan politician or family member will receive this treatment...
why?
This is in the playbook on how you loose elections. Bonehead move......not a hill to die on but she did it. Bye......
Imagine if Trump comes out and orders everyone to wash their hands and not to lick metal surfaces....The Left will order everyone to do the opposite
Hopefully the people in MI have better sense and don’t elect this wench again.

I’m beginning to get the”feeling” that some POLITICAL marching orders is responsible for these DemocRAT governors’ strange interference with doctors’ medical judgement. They should be held LEGALLY & FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE for any resulting deaths & injuries that stem from their EXTRA-LEGAL DECREES.
Gee, she isn’t even following Obama’s Famous “just take a Pill” remark to the Woman who was worried about her Elderly Mother.
So as a Dr I prescribe the medicine, risk professional certification, but if patient gets better, good luck enforcing that. If patient gets worse, I possibly still get sued either way.
The power of Democrats knows no bounds.
Whitmer is such a mindless tool, as are the wonkas her serve under her. I can tell you *this hospital pharmacist* will be dispensing hydroxychloroquine to patients upon a physician’s order.
Karma would be if he came down with it and was denied because of his own edict.
Gov this is a National State of Emergency and POTUS Donald J. Trump calls the shots. You will do as he says or get crushed like an insect.
She is drunk with power, and continues to commit one GUI after another. (Governing under the influence)
That drug is still seen as experimental, and has not been fully tested in the United States. Faced with how severe Corona V. can get, some doctors are prescribing it anyway, because of all the success stories popping up.
This Dem Governor most likely does not want to promote the drug as a solution, just because the president is all for using it now to save lives. So if Trump likes it, she hates it. Simple as that. Reptilian type thinking.

Is it to keep it away from hoarders?
We don’t have much malaria here, so there are that many pills kept in stock.
If this is to make sure patients who need it get it, that’s one thing.
If anyone needs any more reason to believe the d’rats are weaponizing this virus here it is.
A more despicable group would be hard to find.
