Trump should reply: “You are now back on a waiting list from FEMA....”

The most EVIL governor in the history of my state.

U.S.S.A. - Commanders of the United Socialist States of America lock down all of the citizens of their states, hold entire republic HOSTAGE.

Occasionally (not always) the camera captures EVIL...the psychopath’s coldness...the no compassion face. When that slips by go to the words (lies or antagonisms..”bitter clingers”...now that face didn’t slip by you I hope). When both slip by go to the deeds. Sometimes they all slip by and YOU’RE raped or dead. The face is sometimes more revealing than other times...Manson, Khomeini, etc., etc.

Barack & Michelle, Hillary & Bill, Soros, Cuomo, Strzok, Brennan, Pelosi, Feinstein, Ted Bundy, an old acquaintance Rick, a current acquaintance Ron, Stalin, Hitler, Greta, etc., etc.

BOLO - face, words, deeds.

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.

I do agree with you that her INTENT was likely to prevent stockpiling. But the letter she put out could easily be intepreted as a full ban.

They've since admitted they "screwed up" and have attempted to walk the letter back. So, at best, they admittedly put out an unclear poorly crafted letter. At best, perhaps you would need to be a lawyer to discern what this communication meant.

But on reading it many times, I can completely see why this letter was criticized and interpreted by many with better reading comprehension as a full-out "ban".

The letter starts off with a good attempt to explain that they are addressing hoarding. But goes on to say that it should not be prescribed (no caveat) without "further proof of efficacy for treating COVID-19".

Paragraph #2, last two sentences were key to me. They demand proof of medical necessity for a prescription. And then reiterate that these drugs have not been proven to treat COVID-19. THAT's where I see the "ban". That's where I see a pharmacist reading this and thinking that he needs proof before filling a prescription and, oh by the way, there is no "proof" that these drugs are effective to treat COVID-19

On reading the full text of the letter, I'll highlight the area where I interpreted this as a full ban:

Dear Licensed Prescribers and Dispensers:

The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has received multiple allegations of Michigan physicians inappropriately prescribing hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine to themselves, family, friends, and/or coworkers without a legitimate medical purpose.

Prescribing hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine without further proof of efficacy for treating COVID-19 or with the intent to stockpile the drug may create a shortage for patients with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or other ailments for which chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are proven treatments. Reports of this conduct will be evaluated and may be further investigated for administrative action. Prescribing any kind of prescription must also be associated with medical documentation showing proof of the medical necessity and medical condition for which the patient is being treated. Again, these are drugs that have not been proven scientifically or medically to treat COVID-19.

Michigan pharmacists may see an increased volume of prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine and should take special care to evaluate the prescriptions’ legitimacy. Pursuant to Michigan Administrative Code, R 338.490(2), a pharmacist shall not fill a prescription if the pharmacist believes the prescription will be used for other than legitimate medical purposes or if the prescription could cause harm to a patient. It is also important to be mindful that licensed health professionals are required to report inappropriate prescribing practices. LARA appreciates all licensed health professionals for their service and cooperation in assuring compliance in acting responsibly while continuing to provide the best possible care for Michigan’s citizens during this unprecedented and very challenging time.

Sincerely,
Deb Gagliardi, Director
Bureau of Professional Licensing

Whom does LARA report to? Whitmer’s name is on the letterhead of the letter that was sent out to “Licensed Prescribers & Dispensers.” She’s hardly a bystander.

Talked to the person I know who works at Henry Ford.

When this C54t issue that EO banning the use of this drug, Henry Ford told her through back channels to basically GFY.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Gretchen Whitmer should not be Governor. She is too dumb. Let’s hope that next election the people vote smarter.

[Bommer]

Ship it, but put it under federal control, due to the fact she cant be trusted to be smart enough to distribute it properly!

[Harpotoo]

Now that’s FUNNY!-)

[Secret Agent Man]

I would not let her or her state people touch it. I would have federal groups distribute it.

[hudsonohio]

Things are rarely what they seem. Thanks for the other side of the story. Didn’t make sense that she would have kept it from people that needed it.

Trump should reply: “You are now back on a waiting list from FEMA....”

The perfect way to win MI again in November . . .

OK everybody: start calling H + Zpack + Zinc (HZZ) the Trump Cure. Spread this far and wide. This will drive the left deep into Nutsville.
