Hydroxychloroquine is an FDA-approved drug already.
This is a phony issue and a distraction.
RE: Hydroxychloroquine is an FDA-approved drug already.
Not really. FDA’s stance is this -— Hydroxychloroquine has shown some promise against the coronavirus in a very small French study, but it is not federally approved to treat the COVID-19 because no official studies have been conducted to determine whether it’s both safe and effective for those sick patients.

But FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn walked back Trump’s remarks minutes later, clarifying that the FDA will conduct a clinical trial to determine whether chloroquine is a safe and effective coronavirus treatment and at what dosage.
“That’s a drug that the president has directed us to take a closer look at,” Hahn said. “We want to do that in the setting of a clinical trial, a large pragmatic clinical trial to actually gather that information and answer the question that needs to be answered.”
