Whitmer reverses course on coronavirus drugs, is now asking feds for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquinePosted By Lee DeVito on Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 4:08 pm
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer drew fire from some on the right after the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) sent a letter last week threatening "administrative action" against doctors who prescribed two experimental drugs that could potentially help coronavirus patients.
The Whitmer administration has since removed the language threatening doctors from the letter and is now asking the federal government to send shipments of the drugs, Bridge magazine reports. The Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency authorization for the antimalarial drugs hydroxychloroquine sulfate and chloroquine phosphate on Saturday.
Somewhere between the bureaucrats and the governor, inclusive, somebody's doing lots of tap-dancing. IOW, I think this "explanation" less than credible.
