Aside from the economic damage these orders, in general, are causing, there are a few governors who have gone completely off the rails, not only issuing the lock down orders, but in some cases, ordering doctors and pharmacists not to use the various anti-malarial and other older drugs that seem to be helping Covid-19 patients who are desperately ill. The two governors who decided they were better equipped to make medical decisions are from Nevada and Michigan.<\/p>\n
In Nevada, Gov. Steve Sisolak issued an order denying these potentially life saving, if still being tested, medicines, to anyone who is sick from the China Virus. Here are some of those details from the New York Pos<\/b>t<\/a>:<\/p>\n Nevada\u2019s governor on Tuesday banned the use of anti-malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus patients. <\/b><\/p>\n Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak\u2019s executive order came after President Trump touted<\/a> the medication as holding promise for combating the illness. <\/b>Sisolak said there was no consensus among experts or Nevada doctors that the drugs can treat people with COVID-19.<\/b><\/p>\n The first indications that these drugs might be effective in treating the Wuhan Flu came out of France. A doctor came up with the idea and the indications were that not only did it appear to significantly reduce the time people were sick, it might also work as a means of preventing people who test positive, but are not yet sick, from being contagious. Now other doctors around the world are trying out the drugs to see if they work and from what I\u2019ve seen, there does seem to be good results.<\/p>\n However, Sisolak has decided, in his medical opinion, that these potential treatments for the China Virus are a complete waste of time and will not be permitted to be sued beyond what they are currently prescribed for.<\/p>\n His order also limits a prescription of the medicines \u2014 which are also used to treat illnesses like lupus and arthritis \u2014 to a 30-day supply to ensure it\u2019s available for \u201clegitimate medical purposes\u201d and so people don\u2019t stockpile the drug.<\/b><\/p>\n No one is \u201cStockpiling\u201d these drugs other then pharmacies and hospitals. They can only be acquired by prescription by a doctor, and they are dangerous if you take more then the recommended dose. The good news about these drugs is that they have been around for decades and recommended dosages are very well known.<\/p>\n Sisolak\u2019s order came a day after a Phoenix-area man died and his wife was in critical condition after taking an additive used to clean fish tanks<\/a> called chloroquine phosphate, similar to the drug used to treat malaria. <\/b><\/p>\n So, is this meat head also going to ban fish tank cleaners? I read about these two, and I have just one observation. Stupidity kills. If you do something like that and you die, well, it sucks to be you. They might have tried reading the actual ingredients and comparing them with the actual medicines. Normal people would have noticed that the names were different and done a bit more research, like calling their doctor.<\/p>\n This brings us to the second totalitarian wannabe governor, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. She decided to top Governor Sisolak\u2019s order by flat out threatening doctors and pharmacists if they prescribed or filled prescriptions for these drugs. Here are the details from the Washington Times<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has come under criticism for a statewide order cracking down on prescriptions of hydroxychloroquine, a drug touted by President Trump<\/a> to treat the novel coronavirus.<\/b><\/p>\n The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs issued an order Wednesday warning physicians against writing prescriptions \u201cwithout a legitimate medical purpose\u201d and instructing pharmacists to evaluate the \u201clegitimacy\u201d of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine prescriptions.<\/b><\/p>\n And what was this cow’s reasoning, or what passes for reasoning in the mind of a Progressive Liberal Democratic CommuNazi?<\/p>\n The department cited concerns about stockpiling amid \u201cmultiple allegations\u201d of doctors writing prescriptions for family and friends, adding that reports of such conduct \u201cmay be further investigated for administrative action\u201d and that other health professionals are required to report \u201cinappropriate prescribing practices.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n Let\u2019s start with a few details regarding doctors and the drugs they prescribe. Most drugs are aimed at specific illnesses, but they can also be found to work in treating other illnesses. The FDA recognizes this and lets doctors prescribe drugs that may not have been formally tested for that specific illness. The doctors will make extensive notes that will aid the drug companies in testing their medicines for other diseases. Since the dosages are already known, doctors trying these drugs already know how much they can give to a patient.<\/p>\n What is actually happening is politics. Both Sisolak and Whitmer are Democrats and they hate President Trump. Anything that President Trump says or recommends, they want to stop. President Trump, like all of us, heard about the French doctors trying these drugs, along with the South Koreans and others. (Apparently even the Chinese are using it)<\/p>\n Kathy Hoekstra, who previously worked for Republican businessman Herman Cain, accused Ms. Whitmer of putting patients at risk with her administration\u2019s \u201cknee-jerk scare tactics.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n \u201c[I]f you live in Michigan, and you or a loved one is infected with this potentially lethal disease, you\u2019re out of luck,\u201d said Kathy Hoekstra, who has written for conservative, in a Thursday op-ed for the Detroit News. \u201cGov. Gretchen Whitmer\u2019s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs literally threatened all doctors and pharmacists in the state who prescribe or dispense hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n Here\u2019s the thing. It seems that a resident in Michigan, who was critically ill with the WooHoo Flu, was given these drugs by his doctor, and the results were remarkable.<\/p>\n RedState\u2019s Elizabeth Vaughn cited a Facebook post by a Michigan man, Transportation Improvement Association CEO Jim Santilli<\/a>, who credited hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin with saving his life after being hospitalized for COVID-19.<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cFor Gov. Whitmer to deny Michigan residents access to one of the only treatments that has shown promise in helping patients with coronavirus is unfair,\u201d said Ms. Vaughn. \u201cShe\u2019s playing with people\u2019s lives. To treat these patients and their physicians as criminals is unconscionable.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n The excuse used by the Michigan licensing bureau is nothing more then a load of horse manure.<\/p>\n The Michigan agency said that hydroxychloroquine, a drug commonly used for malaria and lupus, has not \u201cscientifically or medically proven\u201d to treat COVID-19, while critics noted that doctors often prescribed drugs off-label, and that studies and clinical trials are still underway for the new virus that triggered a pandemic. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
