Nevada Democrat Governor Steve Sisolak banned the use of anti-malaria drugs tonight
________________________________________________________________________________
CARSON CITY — Gov. Steve Sisolak has signed an emergency measure to safeguard the threatened supply of two drugs being hoarded for possible use in the treatment of COVID-19.
The drugs, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, are used to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and are being studied by the FDA for possible use in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
“The governor’s order prohibits the prescribing and dispensing chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for a COVID-19 diagnosis, requires the appropriate prescription coding for their ‘legitimate medical purposes,’ and limits prescriptions to a 30-day supply,” The Las Vegas Review Journal reported.
“At this point in time, there is no known cure for COVID-19 and we must not withhold these drugs from those who need them,” Sisolak said in a statement. “The best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home for Nevada, not to stockpile these drugs.”
Democrats WANT PEOPLE TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!..................
Just why does this nitwit of a governor want to murder his state residents?
And they call me a science denier.
Cross the state lines and get it anyway.
They have no shame.
It’s what Dems do..............Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Che Guevara.......................A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic............
I bet he would change his mind if he got a nice big KICKBACK from the drug manufacturer.
He seems to be saving it for the people who need it. Why is that bad?
I’d bet a lot of money that he doesn’t have the authority to that.
HCQ does have a narrow safety margin and overdoses are quite lethal. None the less, this order is a special type of stupid
If this Order by the Governor leads to just 1 Death, he should be CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
For the purpose of Section 242, acts under “color of law” include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official’s lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.
The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.
TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnaping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
There were widespread reports yesterday of doctors hoarding these drugs for themselves and their families, even if they don’t have the virus. This is probably what the governor is concerned with.
Why does he get to choose who gets treatment?
I am not sure the title matches what was signed by the governor.
Other states are doing this as well, to prevent people from being prescribed these drugs to hoard them/sell them.
They want you to test positive for ChinaVirus in order to get prescription, not because you have the sniffles.
And that looks like what is going on here.
Democrat local leaders like governors and mayors are on some super-duper power trips during this time of crisis.
>>>Gov. Steve Sisolak has signed an emergency measure to safeguard the threatened supply of two drugs being hoarded for possible use in the treatment of COVID-19<<<
It is a Prescription Drug so who is actually “hoarding” it, Doctor’s or Pharmacist’s?
He should have banned “over the counter” Aquarium Cleaner.
Every day the world gets a little more insane...
Since when does a governor have authority of medical decisions??
So he gets to decide who lives and dies, is that it? Are you seriously asking or are you OK with an elected official having that power?
