Ohio pharmacy board bans hydroxychloroquine as coronavirus treatment

Sometimes the fact that DeWine is totally spineless works out to Ohioans’ advantage.

Same with the infamous Ohio House Bill 6 where First Energy bribed (allegedly, for now) the Ohio House speaker and others tens of millions of dollars in order to get over a billion dollars in subsidies. When the feds arrested Speaker Householder and there were calls to repeal HB6, DeWine said that it shouldn't be repealed. The next day the spineless governor said it should be repealed and replaced when he saw which way the winds were blowing.

The left could care less about public safety they still use their names for voting.

Didn't Roe v Wade find a Constitutional right to privacy in the doctor patient relationship?

How can the board interfere here?

[Major Matt Mason]

This is definitely a political decision and not a science-based one. India and other countries that use HCQ regularly must view our "health" mavens as complete lunatics. Disgraceful and embarrassing.

[redangus]

“The court held that a woman’s right to an abortion was implicit in the right to privacy protected by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.”

How is the right to take a drug with a 70 year track record of safety any different than the right to have an abortion? It should be a decision between patient and doctor after thorough consultation on the risks. My body, my choice. Trump needs to push this. Use their words against them. A right to privacy as stipulated in Griswold v Connecticut, and Roe v Wade is not unique to pregnancy. We have to convince people that Covid is treatable or we will never get the country back.

Banning an FDA approved drug. Seems borderline criminal.

What is wrong with these “health” people?

The majority of them are Leftist Scum.

"The drug may also cause serious cardiac side effects, according to the Food and Drug Administration."

I've seen studies that come down on both sides of the question of whether HCQ is effective against Covid-19, but this claim that it is suddenly dangerous after decades of safe use - even long-term use, not the brief course recommended for treating COVID-19 - by millions of people is one that really raises a red flag that this is all political.

Any drug - even OTC drugs - has counterindications and warnings, but that doesn't prevent them from being available. Listen to any drug ad on TV and the list of possible complications is both long and spooky, but these drugs are sold every day of the year.

“Basically, it’s a patient safety issue,” McNamee lied. “We’re looking at the fact that Trump recommended it to determine what’s best for his political opponents in Ohio.”

Max Filby parroted:

despite medical studies showing the drug to be ineffective at treating the disease

Here's your cracker, Max!

[spankalib]

Rush is announcing at the top of his show - Dewine is reversing the ban and allowing HCQ to be prescribed.

[Walrus]

They’re also in the pocket of Big Pharma, for whom HCL success would be an utter disaster.

Big Pharma does not like cheap and effective drugs.

Sad...instead of following medical experts Ohio is kissing Facebook’s ass!

Wow ... ain’t “science” great?

Fortunately, this is just one state in our 50 state laboratory of democracy.

Imagine the total control “they” would have over us/US now if the entire nation was forced to live under their one provider rule of obama”care” or Hillary“care”!

The only options for treatment would only be what “they” allowed if/when “they” allowed them.

But hey, maybe if you beg a little .... and grovel, too ... things might go better for you. I hear “They” like that.

Kinda like what Nadler wanted Barr to do when Nadler had total power. Beg me and grovel or there’s no bathroom break for you!

See how “they” are? “They” are a bad bunch of Luke 16:10 failures, every freaking one of them.

Which makes us/US the world’s biggest fools ever, since we keep electing and reelecting “them” to rule over us/US again and again, election after election.

The article says they "REVERSED THE BAN!"

The board’s shift came after Gov. Mike DeWine asked the state pharmacy board on Thursday morning to rescind its plan to ban hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as treatments for the virus.

[Lowell1775]

OHIO PING!

Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

This was rescinded at DeWine’s request later in the day.

[FreedomNotSafety]

Because they can. Every petty bureaucrat has been empowered. Fearpers heartily endorsed these actions.

HCQ is over the counter in some countries.

IMO Tylenol is far more dangerous than HCQ.

Take Tylenol on a stomach full of hard liquor and you are good for complete liver failure in a few hours.

DeWine is good for a surprise every now and then.

Declare and emergency and the courts will give the executive branch wide leeway.
