Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is asking for the Ohio Board of Pharmacy and the State Medical Board to halt the new rule issued Thursday that bans the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment of COVID-19. We have this from the governor.
The governor said in a statement Thursday that he agreed with Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, that the decision to treat the virus with hydroxychloroquine should be between a doctor and patient.“Therefore, I am asking the Ohio Board of Pharmacy to halt their new rule prohibiting the selling or dispensing of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19,” DeWine said. “The Board of Pharmacy and the State Medical Board of Ohio should revisit the issue, listen to the best medical science, and open the process up for comment and testimony from experts.”
As the governor said "listen to the best medical science, and open the process up for comment and testimony from experts.” Wow. I wonder if these folks on the boards have relatives in Sacramento. Acting when you have no facts, so just make stuff up. Let's hope they listen to the Governor.
