Death toll mounts as FDA denies HCQ for outpatient therapy - FDA requires higher standard for 65 year safe HCQ than for new vaccines with no history

The physician head of the FDA, Dr. Steven Hahn, has again betrayed physicians and patients by preventing Americans from having the "right to try" HCQ for early COVID-19 treatment. Dr. Hahn knows full well the FDA approved HCQ as safe in 1955, and it has been used in millions of patients worldwide for 65 years with an impressive track record of safety in patients of all ages, all ethnic groups, and even pregnant women and nursing mothers.
The FDA's denial of the EUA for early outpatient COVID-19 use of HCQ continues the agency's false narrative in claiming outpatient harm for HCQ, based on inpatient data in critically ill patients. Dr. Hahn has ignored established facts of effectiveness and lack of harm for outpatients that have been established in more than 50 recent studies.
What amount of "data" will ever satisfy Dr. Hahn?
The FDA used a standard of "may be effective" for the rapid May 1 EUA given to the experimental anti-viral remdesivir, based on one controlled clinical trial terminated early. Yet FDA is now requiring a higher standard of a randomized controlled clinical trial for the already FDA-approved HCQ in safe use for 65 years. Remdesivir showed very little benefit shown in hospitalized COVID patients and had serious side effects. Nine of the members of the NIH panel relied on for COVID treatment advice were supported financially by Gilead Sciences, maker of remdesivir.
This is intentional murder of patients that could be saved by Dr. Hahn and the FDA.

On accountability- yes for deaths that could have been prevented.
Do not forget the lockdowns so add accountability for economic loss to government, financial loss on individuals, and, death and illness attributable to lockdown measures.
Gates Vaccine? $1 trillion business
Remdesivir? $1000/day treatment
State of fear? Priceless.
Me? HCQ prophylaxis , $10/month. MD in 40th year of practice, half of it in academics teaching the little darlings how to be discerning physicians. HCQ has worked on not 50%, not 60%, 70,80,90%. Nope, 100% if given with zinc at ONSET of symptoms. It's so safe it is better than aspirin, tylenol or NSAIDs, because it kills the virus and breaks the fever, r/t masking the fever while the viral load explodes exponentially. I say sue the bastards. Only way to get their attention.
I see Fauci's hand in this prejudice against HCQ.
