This is some fantastic irony, folks.
Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak is now having to swallow his pride and admit President Trump was right about the Malaria drug being used to treat coronavirus.
The FDA has now approved treatment for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to be prescribed for coronavirus patients.
Nevada Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak is allowing malaria drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to be prescribed for the inpatient treatment of coronavirus patients, a spokesperson said Tuesday.
Last week, Sisolak endorsed restrictions on the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for outpatient prescriptions as the Trump administration touted its potential effectiveness in treating coronavirus. The governor’s office had said the restrictions were to protect the supply of the drugs for individuals with lupus and other conditions.
Influential Republicans such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) have criticized Sisolak for his state’s handling of the drugs, which on Monday received emergency Food and Drug Administration approval for treating coronavirus patients.
“The Governor of Nevada, practicing medicine w/o a license—trying to score political points against Trump—& prohibiting NV doctors from prescribing medicines to treat COVID19,” Cruz recently tweeted.
The governor’s spokesperson defended Sisolak’s actions in a statement provided to Just the News, saying the governor has “based every decision he’s made on the opinions of medical experts.” [Just The News]
What a selfish jerk to put politics before the health of his own people.
Had he not prevented this drug from being prescribed, more people would’ve received helpful treatment sooner.
