Are we just going to ignore the fact that Sweden never issued stay-at-home orders, kept schools open, didn't close businesses and the general public does not wear masks... ...and the entire country is down to LESS THAN 1 DEATH per day from COVID-19. pic.twitter.com/J953lGhWGc — James Todaro, MD (@JamesTodaroMD) August 7, 2020 Hope we learn but doubt politics will change

>> He tried to explain that the withdrawal of the Emergency Use Authorization was not meant to interfere with off label prescribing of HCQ. And technically, it didn’t - but in reality, it had a big negative impact. I agree with you. When I first heard about the EUA I thought what the hell? But on reading about it, I didn't think it would affect outpatient's access. But the news media didn't distinguish, and you tell me, does a busy physician have time to sit around reading this stuff? I don't know. There are certainly no HCQ salesmen coming around to encourage you to use it. At the same time, when asked about it, the FDA guy sort of dodged the question in an unhelpful way - "That's between you and your doctor." True, but not a strong endorsement. I think I'm going to have an anger problem with this for a while ;)
