After being accused of "banning" the use of a potential coronavirus drug, Michigan is now leading the nation's largest study on whether hydroxychloroquine can be used to treat COVID-19.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was asked about the new study of the drug, announced by Henry Ford Health System on Thursday, during a coronavirus town hall with Michigan's TV stations that evening.
"I think that there is some some great potential here amidst all of the sadness and hardship that we're going through right now," she said.
Detroit's Henry Ford Health System is leading the nation's first large-scale study on the effects of hydroxychloroquine in preventing COVID-19. The hospital is looking for more than 3,000 frontline volunteers to take the drug to see if it prevents them from contracting the virus.
It's a bit of a reversal for the administration. In March, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) sent a letter threatening "administrative action" against doctors who prescribed the drug to coronavirus patients, reminding them that it's properties in treating COVID-19 were untested.

Yeah.
“Henry Ford Health System is leading the nation’s first large-scale study on the effects of hydroxychloroquine in preventing COVID-19.”
BS. I think the University of Minnesota was first about three weeks ago.
Then Duke University announced a $50 million grant today to do the same thing. FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS!! What the hell??
So there are at least three underway in the US alone.
Is ANYBODY coordinating them and making them talk to each other? Seems like CDC should knock heads.
Who OK’ed Detroit to be the first? Out of all the cities. This was done to promote whiter after her stupid stubborn decision to ban the drug. Someone in the government did this for her.
Just Stupid
Unfortunately the test results won’t be available until Nov 6th or so.
More atheists are converted in foxholes than anyplace else.
Yep, she did a 180 degree spin and got on board with the rest of the world
She’s confused
good pick up
Large scale study on what? Dumbasses that banned it and then begged for it once they realized their savior and dark over lord Satan wasnt working for them? We know the shit works! It cures people of the virus! Why in the living hell arent we opening up the country and just replacing tic tacs at the checkout counter with Trump drugs? This time limit 1 per customer per month. The end!
with the rest of the libtard panic freak world, to clarify...
Well maybe she will be Joes running mate if so she wants people to be cured on her watch. She can add healing the sick to her accomplishments.
She was against it before she was for it.
Can see see her own toes while standing up?
Some effort should be put to finding a better treatment.
We pretty much know that though this one can be life saving to some degree, it’s effects seem to be somewhat faint.
We need tons of parallel development both with released and close to released drugs and with developing treatments based on more basic science.
I believe you are EXACTLY right.
This is 100% planned.
100%.
“After being accused of “banning” the use of a potential coronavirus drug, “
After being accused?? She threatened doctors with jail if they used it.
Oh, not the whit is on board.
More proof of what I’ve been saying, they aren’t using on patients.
This broad is dumber than a stump. She thinks hating Trump is more important than curing the virus.
