Steve Sisolak, the leftist governor of Nevada, decided to play doctor by banning the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, two drugs that are being used elsewhere to treat COVID-19.
"While these drugs serve necessary medical purposes, this regulation protects the Nevadans who need them and prevents unnecessary hoarding," Sisolak wrote on Twitter.
Unneccessary hoarding? The hoarding thing is a smokescreen, his real reason was to slap at President Trump who touted these medications as showing promise, and even mistakenly said they had been approved for use by the FDA. That's his real reason for the limit on the unproven drug, which goes against the 'right to try' and the current national mobilization effort to get everyone well by suspending burdensome regulations in the medical community to encourage experimentation and swift solutions. What Nevada needs, see, is more administrative-state regulation, which is is showing all signs of going badly for him.
According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, here was Sisolak's originally stated reason, which has a clear reference to President Trump:
Sisolak announced an emergency regulation prohibiting the drugs’ use in a statement that said there was “no consensus among COVID-19 experts or Nevada’s own medical health advisory team” that the medications were an effective treatment for the virus.
Tellingly, this semi-prohibition comes right on the heels of the death of an Arizona man who tried to self-medicate, fatally taking a fish tank cleaning additive with a similar name, and killing himself as well as sickening his wife. She has since blamed President Trump.
Sen. Ted Cruz could tell what Sisolak's ban was really about -- Getting Trump -- and he said something. According to the Reno Gazette-Journal:

Get real....the STUPID DEMOCRATS will Re-elect him in a Landslide! They DO what they are TOLD to do!! Union members have NO individual thought or action! SAD!
Its backfired on Red Steve. Who looks like a flamin’ idiot.
Democrats need to force Americans to stop saving their own lives because it makes Orange Man look good. Geez.
The DemonRats are happy to keep government (laws) out from between a woman and her abortion doctor. Yet these hideously evil creeps will get between you and your doctor when he tries to save your life.
The Voluntary Human Extinction crowd as usual, wants to have it both ways.
Democrats don’t care and Nevada is officially blue.
It didn’t backfire on DeWhine.
Never ending.
If these drugs were potential cures for AIDs every leftist loon from Miami to Seattle would out in the streets screaming bloody murder.
The fat guy hates Trump more than he cares about his Covid 19 constituents.
All in a state that has had ten deaths. Well, when it’s all over he’ll say that it was his quick-thinking and prompt action that prevented it from being twenty or thirty.
From what I’ve read on Wikipedia (ya, ‘wikipedia’, I know), quinine, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are all prescription drugs. If so, ONLY a doctor (and perhaps some types of advanced nurses, or something) can prescribe such drugs. Hoarding? Not very likely! A doctor who overprescribed that, or any other drug, would eventually lose their license, or suffer some other punishment.
Ya, this is nothing more than an upset, leftwing Dhimmicrap, blindly seeking revenge on PDJT. Not that I would wish this illness on anyone, but if someone had to get it, Sisolak would be a good candidate, IMO.
“”prevents unnecessary hoarding””
I didn’t know they were available to walk in and purchase!! Is this guy real or just a demoncrat?
Predictable.
Some are claiming that doctors are the writing thee prescriptions for themselves for large quantities.
But I’m not sure if there is evidence of it.
Doctors were prescribing it for their friends and family who had nothing wrong with them at the moment, to make sure their gang had it just in case. That is hoarding. Keeping it from those who need it.
Cuomo banned sales of it for any use that it not approved by the FDA. That makes more sense, since the FDA has approved it for corona.
I hope they will bring law enforcement in on this in New York State if needed.
The doctors may be writing themselves prescriptions in large quantities not to use on themselves (way too many), but to have on hand to give to patients that need it. They would have no other way to get the needed drugs.
Someone should ask him if the Roe vs Wade protections of the “right to privacy” between a woman and her doctor apply here.
Interesting.
Seems it probably works pretty well, then. Hmm?
