Michigan Governor Who Banned Anti-Coronavirus Drug Touted by Trump Now Asking for Shipments of It
Red State ^ | April 1, 2020 | Brandon Morse

A drug that has proven effective against the Wuhan Coronavirus was banned in Michigan by its Democratic governor after it was promoted by President Donald Trump, but now that the drug is being circulated with proven efficacy against the virus, Michigan’s governor is practically begging for it.

It wasn’t but a few days ago that Democratic Michigan Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, was banning the drug hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine from being sold in pharmacies and threatening “professional consequences” if they prescribe or dispense it, even ordering pharmacists to “ignore physician orders for this medication.”

Why had Whitmer denied this potentially life-saving drug to the people of her state?

The answer is most likely the usual one we come across now when it comes to Democratic politicians. She did it because Trump had touted the drug as having “tremendous promise” and in order to look both defiant and “responsible,” she nixed the drug from being sold in her state to treat the virus.

This same incompetent hack is on Biden's short list for Veep. After blasting Trump on various cable talk shows, it was revealed that Whitmer had failed to submit any required paperwork to FEMA needed to obtain emergency supplies and relief.

She is a doughnut hole.

Reach through and pull her inside out.

Maybe she will have some sense then.

That qualified her to be GropinJoe’s VP, figuring he will pick a complete boob to take some of the glare off of him.

She would fit right in the Biden Presidency. Does more flip flops than an IHOP chef.

Alright, I've donned my asbestos Fruit-of-the-Looms.

Let me be clear, I cannot stand Half-Whitmer.

But she DID NOT BAN the anti-Coronavirus drug in Michigan.

The order came from Michigan's Licensing And Regulatory Affairs, and warned pharmacists from dispensing "hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine to themselves, family, friends, and/or coworkers without a legitimate medical purpose."

LARA further wanted to "remind both prescribers and dispensers of their continued obligation to adhere to the standards of practice and exercise the professional judgment applicable to their professions. Prescribing hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with the intent to stockpile the drugs may create a shortage for patients with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other ailments for which the drugs are proven treatments."

In other words, they were trying to prevent the unnecessary stockpiling of the drug by people who were not sick, so that the drug would be available to those that were.

Whitmer never banned the use of chloroquine by Covid-19 patients.

THIS is who will be POTUS.

Joe is leaving office if he gets elected - he already said that he is old and his VP needs to be able to take office DAY ONE.

I think he has an agreement with someone that if he gets in office, all investigations into his family about Burisma, China and all other criminal activities will be dropped.
