The only problem with HCQ “over the counter” is that there are some incredibly stupid people in this country that would find a way to abuse HCQ to the point of their own death.
I mean, we have people so low on the bell curve that they think that Biden would be a good President. Those people vote and they shop! Much as I disdain their views on life, I don’t really want them killing themselves (unless their part of the riotous enemy combatants like we see in Portland - then their lives have no more value than a German soldier in 1944).
Like I said...’let the chips fall where they may’. There are PLENTY of OTC medications that could be used to the point of their own death.
