Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) is a dummy, grandstanding for political points when he should be focused on protecting the health, jobs, and prosperity of Nevada residents.
There will be ample supplies of the drug, and doctors don't withhold treatment from critically ill people in order to preserve medical supplies for the less ill except in extreme circumstances.
Dr. Fauci is a bureaucrat AND an idiot that doesn’t know common sense, if people are close to death what the hell harm can it do to use the medication other than the harm of Trump was right and getting people back to work!!!
agreed- He is touting ‘Zero Risk’- Yet if he had the virus- he would throw ‘Zero Risk’ out the window and take the drug- but he expects us all to wait for a product that has ‘zero risk’- even if it means 10’s of 1000’s of deaths while waiting for it
One the most bone-headed moves I ever saw.
There will be ample supplies of the drug
*******************
There will be ample supplies once production gets cranked up but in the short term maybe a shortage is a real possibility?
And he would counter the argument about critically ill CV patients needing the drug by saying it hasn’t been proven effective for CV. It may be a cynical argument, but that’s what he’d say.
I suspect his root motivation is spiteful TDS but I’m just wargaming his possible arguments here.
BTW, where was protecting existing users given as a justification? I don’t see it in the AP report.
Of course they can’t stop the VA from treating you with HCQ or any other FDA approved drug. And HCQ was approved in 1955 I believe. ANY Dr. Can prescribe it for off-label use.
Now, whether the lawless moron gov will TRY to interfere is another story. I’d like to see him try against a man who can resist.
Why is this the governor’s decision to make? Isn’t a medical decision better left to medical people?
I thought that trials are already beginning to establish whether the antimalarial is efficacious against Covid-19.
This governor is about to have some problems with his citizens.
I took Plaquenil for 15 years at 200 mg twice a day. I quit a couple of years ago because my symptoms (joint inflammation) went into remission. Don’t know if I have any residual still in my system or not.
You’re right, it would be an excellent study to see if ( present or past) users of Plaquenil were getting protection from COVID -19 infection. Very interesting indeed.
“And he would counter the argument about critically ill CV patients needing the drug by saying it hasn’t been proven effective for CV.”
______
He already did =>
“Sisolak said in a statement that there’s no consensus among experts or Nevada doctors that the drugs can treat people with COVID-19.”
Feel Ze POWAH!!!
Cuomo just banned it in NYS for off label use, for anybody who isn't in a Cuomo approved study.
That is exactly right, entitled mobsters.
Up here in Reno we have no say what happens in the state, whatever the nitwit libtards want in LV they get and the rest of us have to suffer as a result.
Doesn't matter. He has now scared Nevada doctors not to prescribe it.
We now call it NevaDUH. At least in parts of Washoe County.
Sisolak, tree, rope.

+++++
My interpretation of this: You can continue off label use but to be legal you have to sign this document pledging to provide the study with your data.
If it's that simple, that may not be too bad.
And why does the governor need to force the issue? I would bet that most would want to help save lives and voluntarily provide the study with the data.
There are horrible risks with chemotherapy YET we are using it everyday!!
