Osteopathic physicians are suing Nevada’s governor and the state’s pharmacy board over their decision to ban the use outside of hospitals of two relatively safe, well-established anti-malarial drugs to treat COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus.
Reno attorney Joey Gilbert, who filed the lawsuit April 21 in state court in Washoe County, Nevada, said his clients believe that “the doctor and patient relationship is sacred and that the private practitioner is in a better position” to know how to treat a patient than an emergency room physician who is seeing the patient for the first time.
The ban is “illegal,” Gilbert told The Epoch Times in an interview. Under federal law, the pharmacy board isn’t allowed to practice medicine, and “that’s what they’re doing by taking tools off the tables for doctors.”
“There are just thousands of lives saved across the United States now between New York, Michigan, Los Angeles, Florida, and here in Nevada, because of this hydroxychloroquine, on top of the fact that I’ve had two parents that are survivors, and they used it.”
Is Nevada “the dummy state,” he asked rhetorically, adding that the other 49 states don’t restrict the use of the two drugs for COVID-19 patients.
“We’re the only one that you have to be in-patient on a chart order and then you can leave the hospital outpatient, but you have to come in and be sick enough for the doctor to say, ‘Yes you need it,’ and if you’re that state, guess what? You’re probably too [expletive] far gone.”
“So, it’s ridiculous what they’re doing,” Gilbert said.
“It’s unconscionable. And I say it’s criminal and it’s going to carry liability, because if they have those meds in that hospital, when that person showed up with those progressed symptoms

WHY THE LAWSUIT? A LITTLE BACKGROUND:
Gov. Steve Sisolak, a Democrat, declared a public health emergency on March 12. With the governor’s blessing, the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy on March 23 adopted emergency regulations restricting the “prescribing and dispensing” of chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate for patients outside of a hospital setting. Hydroxychloroquine is marketed as Plaquenil.
The board raised the alarm, claiming the oral prescription drugs, which are also used to treat malaria, lupus, porphyria, and arthritis, were being hoarded, which led to a “resulting shortage of supplies of these drugs for legitimate medical purposes,” according to the legal complaint filed in the case that is cited as Nevada Osteopathic Medical Association v. Sisolak.
btt
This needs to happen in every state that is pulling this crap.
If we ever have solid evidence that lives were lost because of this then some official should be facing man-slaughter charges since there illegal actions led to people dying.
Nothing must be allowed to violate the sacred relationship between a woman and her abortionist.
was this not another case of a lying non-MD
pretending to be a physician or surgeon to
tell REAL physicians and surgeons what to do?
where is the honor of these liars like “Dr” Bright?
btt
Niece said her med is getting in short supply.
130 million could starve to death, 20% reduction in food, CARGILL slaughtered 5 61,000 at the smallest chicken farms, eggs, 2 pork plants down, planting season running out. Beef next. Milk is being dumped.
GREAT DEPRESSION 2, THANKS TO PELOSI AND CREW. SO BIDEN WINS, CROAKS AFTER A FEW MONTHS, SOME tranny will be President and chose PELOSI AS VP.
Anyone who had a loved one die without being able to get this combo should sue the Governor, his middle east health non doctor advisor and anyone else who kept this combo drug from their loved ones.
“Is Nevada “the dummy state”....”
Oregon has the same “dummy” government decree
Cuomo needs to be sued for mass murder
Cuomo whines that he didnt have enough hospital beds. He got them and never used them.
Cuomo whines that he did not have enough ventalators. He got them and never used them.
What Cuomo never whined about is not having enough hydroxychloquine and zinc. Yet his state has the #1 death count in the United States! Why? Because he refused to allow physicians to use it to save people.
Thats more than enough proof this was deliberate
It’s TDS plain and simple. All day long the lying fake false prophets tell the world how this medication is killing people!
Every case I’ve read about or seen a video about where a doctor has had good results with HCQ + xinc, the meds need to be given early.
If the patient doesn’t get the meds until they are on a ventilator, the meds lose a lot of effectiveness.
The drugs expire in three years and most were probably manufactured last year or the year before and shipped here in container ships.
How much hoarding could you do? You have a prescription to buy them anyway.
RAT run States want their residents to die.
But keep voting democrat to the bitter end 😑.
True. The first question these RAT Governors tell Doctors to ask their
Covid 19 patients is are u a republican or Democrat.
If u r a republican, no treatment for u.
it’d be fun if barr had the doj join this one ...
