I've been looking into the complaints that Lupus patients have been denied refills for Hydroxychloroquine. I have had mixed results in my research.

Rumors were out there that Kaiser-Permanente was denying refills, or at least reducing 90-day scrips to 14 day supply, and also working with prescribing physicians to morph to other, similar meds. K=P was telling their clients that Hydroxychloroquine "stays in the system" for 40 days, so don't worry you are temporarily off the medication. K=P "thanked" some clients for, in essence, "taking one for the team" during the shortage.

If Hydroxychloroquine has NOT been widely prescribed for COVID-19 yet, and the studies are still underway, why is there a decrease/shortage in supply? Why are Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and immune-deficient patients being denied Hydroxychloroquine?

Israel and other countries donated massive amounts of doses of Hydroxychloroquine, so why the "shortage"?

Is this a contrived shortage based on government hoarding, or a poor estimate like the massive numbers of empty beds at McCormick Place, Javitz Center, the two Navy Hopsital ships, etc.? Thoughts?
