Yes, HCQ is still available for Lupus patients. So no, it has “not been banned.” The reality of the situation is that use for Covid-19 has been greatly discouraged. The doctors that I have talked to in two states just wish I would go away.
FDA language indicates that HCQ may be used in a hospital setting. It implies that it can not be used outside of a hospital setting.
HCQ should be used shortly after the onset of symptoms - to prevent people from going to the hospital! It’s a nice catch-22. You can’t use it when it will help, but with your doctor’s permission, you can use it when it can do no good.
Each states regulates medicine. Was there any state, in the Lupus org website you referenced, that was positive about using HCQ early in treating COVID-19?
If you are in the hospital it is TO LATE for HCQ and these bastards know this!!!
