Elementary opinion misrepresents issue

Re: Kathy Hoekstra's March 26 guest Detroit News opinion, “Michigan’s doctors fight coronavirus, and governor's office”: This piece reflects a very elementary understanding of the issues related to the prescribing of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin and a mis-representation of the intent and content of the letter written to prescribers by Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.

I am a family physician in Metro Detroit. My views do not necessarily reflect those of the health system to which I am employed. I do appreciate that this article was labeled as “opinion.” Given the nature of its content, however, it should be more thoroughly vetted by staff with appropriate medical and public health experience. It would have better served physicians, pharmacists and patients to have passed on this article.

Again, these are drugs that have not been proven scientifically or medically to treat COVID-19.Michigan pharmacists may see an increased volume of prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine and should take special care to evaluate the prescriptions’ legitimacy. Pursuant to Michigan Administrative Code, R 338.490(2), a pharmacist shall not fill a prescription if the pharmacist believes the prescription will be used for other than legitimate medical purposes or if the prescription could cause harm to a patient.It is also important to be mindful that licensed health professionals are required to report inappropriate prescribing practices.

You lied about the drugs being 100% effective.

It really doesn't matter what rumors and lies you spread on this small forum.

The danger comes as you and other people post those lies on public sites.

This is not the time to be spreading lies and rumors.

3/30/2020
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Sunday issued an emergency-use authorization for a pair of anti-malaria drugs as health officials work to combat the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said in a statement that the authorization would allow 30 million doses of hydroxychloroquine sulfate and 1 million doses of chloroquine phosphate to be donated to the Strategic National Stockpile. The doses of hydroxychloroquine sulfate were donated by Sandoz, while the chloroquine phosphate was developed by Bayer Pharmaceuticals.

The products will be "distributed and prescribed by doctors to hospitalized teen and adult patients with COVID-19, as appropriate, when a clinical trial is not available or feasible," HHS said.

Michigan officials warn against stockpiling drug used to treat coronavirus, as FDA offers emergency approval
Updated Mar 30, 2020; Posted Mar 30, 2020
Ypsilanti coronavirus testing


By Julie Mack | jmack1@mlive.com

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is pushing back against accusations that her administration was trying to block use of anti-malaria drugs for treatment of coronavirus COVID-19, a day after the federal Food and Drug Administration approved the drugs for emergency use.

“We want to ensure that doctors have the ability to prescribe these medicines,” Whitmer said in a press briefing Monday, March 30. “We also want to make sure that people who have prescriptions that predated COVID-19 have access to the medication that they need.”

Whitmer’s comment came amid questions about a strongly worded letter sent last week from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs regarding prescriptions for hydroxychloroquin and chloroquin, which have been promoted by President Trump as potential “game-changers” in the coronavirus pandemic.

The letter warned against “inappropriate prescribing practices” regarding the drugs.

The LARA letter was interpreted by some to mean the state was forbidding doctors and hospitals from using hydroxychloroquin and chloroquin for COVID-19, which is not the case.

In fact, Beaumont Hospitals in metro Detroit has been among those using hydroxychloroquine to treat some cases of COVID-19, a Beaumont spokesman said Monday."

Spreading rumors and lies is a very dangerous thing to do.

Here is a screen shot from you original post; not the one you are using now.

The link you shared was from days before the FDA okayed experimental treating of patients.

Your link stated that chloroquine is 100% effective.

You are spreading rumors and lies.

Your link says the drug is 100% effective.

You are spreading rumors and lies.

The FDA is allowing doctors to administer the anti malaria drugs to treat some patients.

Claiming that the drug/drugs are 100% effective is a lie and very dangerous.

Avery dangerous right wing rumor:

"There is a new French study that indicates chloroquine might help.

But even its authors acknowledged the study is small and the findings are preliminary.

And Dr. Anthony Fauci, the most visible U.S. government expert on coronavirus, said evidence for chloroquine is only anecdotal and much more research is needed."

Trump's adviser:


Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., NIAID Director

Dr. Fauci was appointed Director of NIAID in 1984. He oversees an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat established infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis and malaria as well as emerging diseases such as Ebola and Zika.
