HCQ has been approved by the FDA and been in use for over 60 years.
Been used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide for malaria for decades including me.
And I am still alive and healthy.
I don’t see what the fuss is about .

This has been one of the most political, and misleading, events in the history of the FDA.

There was no need to issue an EUA for HCQ, since it was a licensed and approved drug since 1955. Off label prescribing does not require FDA approval, in fact, there is no process for that to occur.

If, for example, I want to prescribe Dilantin for neuropathy, even though it’s not “FDA approved” for that, I just do it. If I called the FDA to ask for permission, they would tell me I don’t need it.

So, since there was no need to issue an EUA to begin with in the case of HCQ, withdrawing the EUA is meaningless. But it’s a big news story, nonetheless.

Indeed it has been incredible. It is impossible to trust the FDA and the CDC based on their political actions during this event. We need the clarity and facts your post provides. Thank you!

Does the emergency removal mean that Drs. can more easily be sued by patients if the HCQ does not work for their covid?

Guenevere, I have not used this service in Wayne’s post here:

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3856712/posts?page=12#12

but I don’t think Corsi would affiliate with them if they didn’t have some doctors who prescribe Hydroxychloroquine.

You can also do a simple search of your town/city state AND “Doctors who prescribe Hydroxychloroquine” or “Doctors who will prescribe Hydroxychloroquine”

Whether or not you you are going to use a doctor with remote video interaction, immediately order/ have someone contactless deliver to you a pulse oximeter with extra batteries, and another thermometer (in case yours breaks), and start keeping a 1-2x daily log of temps, SP02 and symptoms that you can share with the doctor.

a/ I need to correct a few lines in the 3rd paragraph of my original post:

"Nearly EVERY study showing no positive effects, or that showed adverse affects from prescribing hydroxychloroquine was based on patients who were in one or more of the following groups:

(1) ONLY prescribed hydroxychloroquine, and DID NOT add the antibiotic and DID NOT ADD the zinc;

(2)Not starting the "cocktail" of all three drugs until after 5 days had elapsed since confirmation of the infection, and/or patient is already very lung-compromised and/or /hospitalized;

(3) patient is immuno-compromised, and/or had pre-existing and serious pulmonary, cardio, or diabetes related illnesses;

(4) patient was already intubated.

(I am not doctor, etc., above is from my online research, )

No, anyone can sue for any reason already.
