As reported last week — Nevada’s Governor Steve Sisolak (D) on Tuesday issued an emergency order barring the use of anti-malaria drugs such as chloroquine for Coronavirus patients.
===========
But there’s more… If you read the governor’s order he also prevented seniors from using chloroquine as a prophylactic to ward off the disease.
Governor Sisolak’s Chief Medical Officer of Nevada is named Ihsan Azzam and he is the one who advised Gov. Sisolak to make it illegal to prescribe hydroxychloroquine to COVID-19 victims.
Ihsan Azzam oversees public health surveillance, epidemiology and disease control activities in the state of Nevada.
But as reported in the Washington Times in 2018 — Ihsan Azzam does not have a license to practice medicine in the United States and yet he is dictating public health policy in Nevada! Nevada’s top doctor isn’t licensed to practice medicine in the United States.
Ihsan Azzam testified in Las Vegas on Tuesday that he has a master’s degree and worked for several years in environmental public health and epidemiology before being named chief state medical officer last May.
Azzam says he practiced for several years as an obstetrics and gynecology physician in Africa before moving to the United States in the 1990s.
On Sunday night the FDA issued an emergency authorization for hydroxychloroquine to be prescribed to coronavirus patients.

What if a Nevadan develops a sudden concern about contracting malaria. It could happen. Could he get a prescription, then?
Ahh, but he IS a licensed witch doctor from deepest, darkest islamofassist-est Africa
/sorta sarc
Dr. Azzam earned his medical degree from Cluj University of Medicine in Romania in 1982 and completed his OBGYN residency in 1986. He also holds a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Graduate Certificate in Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Demography from the University of Seattle School of Public Health and Community Medicine, and a CDC Chronic Disease Epidemiology Certificate from the Penn State College of Medicine. At the University of Nevada, Reno, Dr. Azzam completed his MPH in 2002 and PhD in 2010. He has been the recipient of several awards, including the 2011 National Sheppard Award for Excellence in Epidemiology.
I’m Ihsan Azzam. I’m not a doctor but I play one for the democrat puke...er...governor.
Doesn’t the FDA authorization render this Nevada decision moot?
That would make him a “Siso-lackey.”
He may not, but in his prior role, he served as the State Medical Epidemiologist leading the activities of disease surveillance and epidemiology at the Division of Public and Behavioral Health.
"I'm Ihsan Azzam. I'm not a doctor but I play one at news conferences."
Hitlers Doctors in the death camps often did not have licences. It’s the inner Nazi showing a bit. Evil men HATE Americas freedom.
TNX
he’s probably MoBro
He is a Democrat. Also, he is “An Expert.” Does that answer your question?
“I’m Ihsan Azzam. I’m not a licensed doctor in Nevada, but I play one at news conferences.”
“I’m Ihsan Azzam. I’m not a licensed doctor in Nevada, but I play one at news conferences.”

I don’t get the big deal abput the license. If he was licensed podiatrist instead of an epidemiologist, how would that be better?
