It would appear so. I’m allergic to a bunch of things that I didn’t used to be allergic to.
For example the pre-medication I take before I go to the dentist now gives me Itching so bad I had to stop taking it.
Getting old is weird. I used to do all kinds of things like roofing and building, now I am deathly afraid of heights.
But cutting out all wheat was the single biggest improvement in my health. All my joint pain is gone.
I also eat Jell-O or gelatin.
Cheerios or scrambled eggs for breakfast, Salad with steak or chicken for lunch And/or dinner, and so many health problems cleared up.
It’s not hard to go gluten-free, And I lost weight and I’m not hungry all the time anymore, like I used to be, so I spend far less on groceries and junk food.
That's saying everything. Clinicians in control is a good thing.
My best friend...

The main reason, as I recall, was that HCQ was being prescribed “off label”. And that it had bad side effects.
Here is a true story concerning off label and bad side effects of thalidomide. As some will remember, this drug was used in the 50’s through the 70’s.
Thalidomide is a drug that was developed in the 1950s by the West German pharmaceutical company Chemie Grünenthal GmbH. It was originally intended as a sedative or tranquiliser, but was soon used for treating a wide range of other conditions, including colds, flu, nausea and morning sickness in pregnant women.
After numerous birth defects were discovered linked to it, it was basically “law fared” out of existence. In 2006, in the Philippines, a clinical trial was being done with thalidomide on multi myeloma patients, (cancer of the white blood cells). My wife had just been diagnosed with this and her doctor suggested that she enroll in the clinical trial.
This was after six months of flying to Manila every month and having plasma infusions over three days each time. On the clinical trial she received the thalidomide and lab test monthly but did not require in patient care.
Of the 25 patients in the trial after two year she was the only one left. The rest had died and the sponsor cancelled the trial. However, under the contractual terms of the trial she was to continue receiving the thalidomide and labs for the rest of her life.
A year later the sponsor was trying to get out of providing the thalidomide and was requiring that she would need to go to Manila every two weeks to get her meds instead of them mailing them to us as they had been doing and only having her go to Manila every three months.
My wife decided to stop taking the meds because to stay in the program would have meant moving to Manila. We are now in 2021 and she is still alive, (at 76).
My point is there was no way to positively say off label use of HCQ was a good or bad idea unless it was studied, but the NIH and Fauci did not want to accept the studies and real life observations already out there for some reason, unknown to us.
This would seem to meet the standard of “depraved indifference”.
From USLegal:
To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant’s conduct must be ‘so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant’s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting.
