FDA denies Henry Ford Health System's request to use hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 patients

(WXYZ) — The FDA denied Henry Ford Health System's request for an emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine for a segment of COVID-19 patients.

In a statement, Henry Ford said the decision does not impact the ongoing study that investigates hydroxychloroquine as a preventative treatment.

"At the same time, we remain focused on advancing efforts to develop a safe and effective vaccine against COVID-19," Henry Ford said. "We are the only site in Michigan enrolling volunteers in the phase 3 trial of the Moderna mRNA-1273 Coronavirus vaccine and evaluating its promise as a vaccine candidate. We continue to believe that a safe and effective vaccine is the best way to protect people from this devastating virus."

Dr. Anthony Fauci previously called the study on the effectiveness of using hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 "flawed" during testimony in front of a House subcommittee.

In response, doctors at Henry Ford Health System penned an open letter, saying the current political climate has made any discussion of the drug impossible.

There must be a reason for Henry Ford to be making this request for emergency use of HCQ...

They must be seeing patients do we’ll in their trial...

This is now beyond stupidity or negligence...it is criminal...

FDA <=== F&CK DOCTORS in AMERICA

and murder the CEOs of any company daring to make
a cure for their OWN-engineered disease that the
CDC and FDA now define by symptoms,
... as they make CERTAIN there are no collection boxes
for masks, gloves and googles.

Apparently even groveling to the vaccine lobby was not enough to break the FDA

And apparently the entire USG medical bureaucracy is going to block access to any treatment that might replace the need for wholesale vaccination

This is on Fauci

BIG PHARMA CONTROLS THE FDA AND THEY DON’T WANT ANY COMPETITION WHEN A VACCINE IS RELEASED.

MAKE HCQ AND AZITHROMYCIN OTC DRUGS SO ANYONE WITH A COUGH AND/OR FEVER CAN GET IT AT ANY DRUG STORE AND MEDICATE THEMSELVES WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE SYMPTOMS.....PANDEMIC OVER. OTHERWISE THEY MUST WAIT A FEW DAYS TO SEE A DR. AND SEVERAL DAYS FOR TEST RESULTS AND BY THEN YOU’RE DEAD...................

You can dispel any notion that government controlled healthcare has any beneficent intent. More than the power supply and energy, more than the environment...the left can’t wait to control who lives and who dies.

Hydroxychloroquine protocol has been so weaponized/politicized, I suspect the FDA has been threatened by some elected in our government...denying a preventative rather than save a life is politically more important...

Do you know whether the advocates say that just using hydroxy with zinc sulfate will be beneficial, even if the patient can’t get hold of zpack? So the patient would be taking hqc and zinc, but not azythromycin?

But somehow one elected - Rep Gomert - was able to get it

I wonder how many members of congress have used it. What about Rand Paul?

Obviously compromised, the “FDA” are really just letters with assumed credibility and mandated power.

I want to know who is hiding behind them and their assumed credibility to do such criminal mischief with the full authority and power of GovCo.

Who elected “them” to rule over us/US and gave “them” such unquestioned power of life or death?

Who can overrule the FDA when “they” are no longer ruled by science and the Hippocratic Oath?

This is criminal, the FDA staff that did this should be locked up in prison forthwith! Or injected with the Virus.

This medicine has been in use for half a century, it is well known pill, cheap, and plentiful. With a precautionary antibiotic and zinc pills for adsorption, it has proven effective against Co-V in several large clinical trials and thousands of regular patients. Furthermore, it is a current primary medical treatment of choice for Co-V in a number of countries including Spain and Italy (where it is credited for reversing the spread of this virus), Brasil, Mexico, France, Germany, UK, China, Canada, Japan, etc. Finally, the much-ballyhood heart arythmia, etc. issues only occur in 0.001 to 0.1 percent of patients, making this treatment plan one of the safest known medical treatments for any infection , safer than most OTC meds, and still it is still taken under medical supervision anyway.

Why do these FDA bureaucraps want to murder American citizens? Are there still SorozNazi moles inside the bureaucrappy, or what?

The American people are in the way of the greatness of the American elite. It is necessary that the people be replaced by others ignorant about how things really work in the USA.

It seems that CV deaths began going up about the time the FDA and state pharmacy agencies started cracking down on HCQ. A remember a doctor in Texas claiming she could no longer get HCQ for corona virus treatment, and that’s about when CV deaths in Texas started to spike.

Thanks. Have you heard: Do Hydroxy and zinc not work at all if not with azithromycin? I ask because some people, I have heard, are having hard time getting their docs to prescribe azithromycin.
