Preliminary Injunction Sought to Release Hydroxychloroquine to the Public
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons ^ | June 22, 2020

Posted on 08/03/2020 2:30:55 PM PDT by JeepersFreepers

Today the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons filed its motion for a preliminary injunction to compel release to the public of hydroxychloroquine by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), in AAPS v. HHS, No. 1:20-cv-00493-RJJ-SJB (W.D. Mich.). Nearly 100 million doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) were donated to these agencies, and yet they have not released virtually any of it to the public.

Millions of Americans fear attending political gatherings, religious services, and even large family get-togethers without the availability of early treatment if they were to contract COVID-19. Why should Americans have to wait until they or a loved one is on a ventilator before they gain access to medication to overcome this virus?

“Why does the government continue to withhold more than 60 million doses of HCQ from the public?” asks Jane Orient, M.D., the Executive Director of AAPS. “This potentially life-saving medication is wasting away in government warehouses while Americans are dying from COVID-19.”

Today AAPS files its motion for a preliminary injunction to compel the government to release HCQ from its stockpile to the public, which could then immediately benefit from it. Reports of an uptick in COVID-19 in Arizona and elsewhere could then be handled without irrational, unjustified limitations on this medication imposed by the FDA.

AAPS agrees with President Trump’s adviser Peter Navarro, Ph.D., who decries the obstruction by officials within the FDA to making this medication available to the public. President Trump himself has successfully taken this medication as a preventative measure, so why can’t ordinary Americans?

“A perfect storm of politics in this presidential election year, along with conflicts of interest at the Defendant federal agencies, has resulted in unjustified obstacles to access to HCQ, an inexpensive medication having a track record of more than 75 years of safety,” AAPS writes in its brief being filed today in federal court.

AAPS files with the court a chart showing how countries that encourage HCQ use, such as South Korea, India, Turkey, Russia, and Israel, have been far more successful in combatting COVID-19 than countries that have banned or discouraged early HCQ use, as the FDA has. Last week the FDA even misled the public by falsely stating that HCQ should not be used to treat COVID-19, when multiple studies show its benefits, and thousands of patients have been successfully treated worldwide.

“The interference with public access to hydroxychloroquine is disrupting our political processes,” notes AAPS General Counsel Andrew Schlafly. “Perhaps that is what some want, in order to deter Americans from attending political conventions and even voting, but it is unconstitutional for the FDA to infringe on these constitutional rights by blocking access to this safe medication.”

This may be dated news but I believe that it has been suppressed by the media. I thought it important to get it out. It is no surprise that it is difficult to impossible to find this information using the search engines. I would not have been able to find it had I not been provided the link.

Jeepers thinks it is delayed because it’s been suppressed by the press.

I’ll see if I can find any updates, on the legal front.

“...Because the criminals & global elites (but I repeat myself) either want America on her knees and/or millions of us dead....”

Exactly. What they really want it to have the entire population vaccinated with the chip in it. One would not be able to exist without that chip. No work, no travel, no buying, no selling, etc. etc. It would give them COMPLETE CONTROL of every single individual’s life.
HCQ is literally “the wrench in their gears” to achieve this. Not to mention, the trillions they would reap from the “unwashed masses”.
HCQ needs to be made an OTC medicine ASAP.

There should be more than an injunction to release the drug.

It calls for wrongful death lawsuits against those who withheld the benign and time tested pharmaceutical from those whose lives could have been saved.

Seems it was being hoarded for some group of people...

Wait a second. What's this?

I heard in the news a few months ago that Trump had told people to drink bleach to get cured and everybody must lock-down and not go to school, work, church, or visit friends and must wear a mask (anything handy will do) and flatten some sort of "curve" so we can have mail in ballots so everybody can vote properly and not get denied our precious Constitutional right to vote in spite of racism. Certain very important "protests" or Elijah Cummings funerals were OK, I think I recall, Also, Congress was exempt from showing up in DC or something because they are so valuable to all of us and they are going to give us a bunch of free money and save us from some Trump disease and Barr's Doe-jay (whatever that is).

Did I miss something else important in the mainstream media? Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention? I thought I got it all.

Yep, most likely so.
IF the truth be known, the DS/DNC/RATs have probably been on HCQ since a week before their colluded/planned virus release date. There are a lot of folks the ought to be doing a public rope dance for this BS.

Goid

The Swiss study just recently released is instructive. During the first part of the outbreak hydroxychloroquine was allowed. Death rates were relatively low. Then it was banned and the Case Fatality Rate went up by very large numbers. When the ban was recently lifted CFR dropped again

Interesting. Do you have a link for this study? It would probably be worth posting.
