Let me ask you, in your opinion, how many human beings will get hydroxychloroquine who are hospitalized for COVID19 if
a) its under present “compassionate use” “off lable”
or in the case
b) FDA approved specifically for COVID19
?
No difference.
Treatment of COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine is standard therapy, it is not “compassionate use”.
Off-label use of drugs happens thousands of times a day, it is ordinary, there is nothing special about it at all.
