Where are they refusing to use it ?

Nevada.

New York state, Nevada and here [Portland, OR], for instance:

My theory:

1) they “say” it has not been tested. Makes the FDA out to look indespensible being able to say “no” Power trip, like all the other Democrats right now.
2) because President Trump said it looked good to work. Info which of course he did NOT make up. The Deep Staters CANNOT have the President look good.

[[Where are they refusing to use it ?]]

wherever people are dying in great numbers at hospitals I would think- this drug has the potential to save nearly everyone that gets this badly- even if they have underlying conditions in many cases- yet people are still dropping dead- at hospitals- I can’t imagine these hospitals don’t have the drug- or access to it quickly if needed-

Here's a disheartening report from a front line ER MD in a small hospital near New Orleans. He posted this last night from his own experience and it suggests that Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) was not helping his patients. This is the first negative report I've seen but it demonstrates that the benefits of this should not be overstated until a larger study is available.

Plaquenil which has weak ACE2 blockade doesn't appear to be a savior of any kind in our patient population. Theoretically, it may have some prophylactic properties but so far it is difficult to see the benefit to our hospitalized patients, but we are using it and the studies will tell. With Plaquenil's potential QT prolongation and liver toxic effects (both particularly problematic in covid 19 patients), I am not longer selectively prescribing this medication as I stated on a previous post. We are also using Azithromycin, but are intermittently running out of IV.
