When is Fauci going to release Hydroxychloroquine to fight Covid 19? He appears to be protecting Big Pharma hoping they will come up with cure. Problem is millions will be dead by then.
On March 19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the testing of two drugs, chloroquine (hydroxychloroquine) and remdesivir, to treat people with COVID-19. The drugs have been given expanded access status, which is sometimes called “compassionate use”. It is important to note that these drugs are still considered experimental for the treatment of COVID-19.What the FDA says...
I imagine getting the "Institutional Review Board" to say "yes" could be a serious problem.Expanded Access | Information for Patients
Sometimes called “compassionate use”, expanded access is a potential pathway for a patient with a serious or life-threatening disease or condition to try an investigational medical product (drug, biologic, or medical device) for treatment outside of clinical trials when there are no comparable or satisfactory therapies available.Investigational medical products are investigational drugs, biologics or medical devices that are being tested to see whether they are safe and effective. This means that these products have not yet been approved or cleared by the FDA and the FDA has not found these products to be safe and effective for their specific use. Furthermore, the investigational medical product may, or may not, be effective in the treatment of the condition, and use of the product may cause serious side effects that were not expected.
When seeking expanded access to an investigational medical product, it is critical that you and your licensed physician (typically your doctor, but not all doctors or healthcare providers are licensed physicians) consider all possible risks.
Whenever possible, an investigational medical product should be used as part of a clinical trial. However, there are times when it is not possible for a patient to be a part of a clinical trial (e.g., that there are no ongoing trials, a patient may not have access to a clinical trial or may not be eligible for the clinical trials, distance to get to a trial prevents access). In those circumstances, expanded access may be the only way for a patient to receive an investigational medical product.
FDA is committed to increasing awareness about the expanded access process and the procedures for getting access to investigational medical products. It is important to note that, even if you meet the criteria under the law and FDA regulations, the licensed physician, the Institutional Review Board (IRB), and the company all need to agree that expanded access is appropriate for you in order for you to receive the investigational medical product. In addition, there may be costs not covered by third-party payers such as private insurance or Medicare.
I have another conspiratorial thought. The US currently has a $60T or so unfunded liability in SS and MC. How nice would it be to reset that balance sheet by just letting a couple million old folks die from this horrible virus? How many socialist countries (Italy and Spain come to mind) with over taxed Healthcare and retirement programs could benefit by just letting a few old geezer die a little early. Maybe let some younger people with pre existing conditions go to. Bingo the balance sheets look better, we’ve reset liabilities and the countries are all solvent again. And in this country there is the added bonus of getting rid of older conservative voters, who remember the real America and aren’t driven so much by emotion. What more could world government/globalist ask for from one little virus. Of course that is only if it actually is the pale horse of the Apocalypse as many on here think it is.
