Embarrassing About-Face on Hydroxychloroquine

Hydroxychloroquine must be bad, because Trump said it is good. The media proved it by showcasing the Darwin Awards case of the couple who ate fish tank cleaner because it contains chloroquine phosphate. Problem is, the Wuhan coronavirus is serious business, and dealing with it is more important than wallowing in TDS. This has put Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in an awkward position:

Last week, Whitmer sent a letter warning physicians and pharmacists of punishments for the prescribing of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine despite a major study recommending “COVID-19 patients be treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to cure their infection and to limit the transmission of the virus to other people in order to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the world.”

Doctors were threatened with “administrative action,” which apparently could entail having their licenses revoked.

Four days later, Whitmer is now begging the feds to send her hydroxychloroquine.

Saving lives has taken precedence over shouting, “Orange man bad.” Better late than never.

Let’s see if Silicon Valley follows suit with similar about-faces. Twitter forced Laura Ingraham to delete a tweet extolling the potential of hydroxychloroquine. Facebook censored Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, deleting a post for saying that “hydroxychloroquine is working in all places.”

The FDA issued an emergency authorization of the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for COVID-19 on Sunday. If it were Obama rather than Trump who had touted the drug, the media would be hyping it to the skies.
