New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has come under increased pressure to lift his executive order prohibiting pharmacists from dispensing the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine outside a hospital or inpatient setting to treat the novel coronavirus.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that he recently witnessed an elderly man with a high fever arrive at Mount Sinai Hospital, “and the first thing they did before they even talked to him was give him hydroxychloroquine.”
“Why is the governor banning it?” asked Mr. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Everything shows that it works.”
Touted by Mr. Trump, hydroxychloroquine has touched off a heated political and medical debate over whether it should be widely prescribed to fight the pandemic, with opponents arguing that the drug is unproven in treating COVID-19.
Mr. Giuliani said that “there’s a dispute as to whether it treats symptoms or cures the disease. But it works. And we don’t have the luxury right now for a perfect solution.”
In a March 23 executive order, Mr. Cuomo barred pharmacists from filling prescriptions for chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, its next-generation derivative, except for FDA-approved uses, such as for treating malaria or lupus, or as part of clinical trials for COVID-19.
The next day, the Democratic governor announced that the Trump administration and FDA had accelerated deliveries of the drug to New York for experimental therapies aimed at treating the novel coronavirus, adding that “hospitals will start using that drug today.”
He followed up March 27 by amending his order to allow the drug to be prescribed for “patients in inpatient settings and acute settings; for residents in a subacute part of a skilled nursing facility; or as part of [a] study approved by an Institutional Review Board.”

FROM SEAN HANNITY:
“I live on Long Island and many doctors are telling me that they want to prescribe this medication to their patients who test positive for COVID-19 – the disease caused by the coronavirus – but do NOT need the patient to come to a hospital,” Mr. Hannity said in a Saturday op-ed. “However, Cuomo’s executive order forbids pharmacies from filling the prescriptions.”
He said that Mr. Cuomo “is creating a much bigger crisis in his state’s hospital system by denying New Yorkers THE CHOICE (in consultation with their doctors) to take this potentially life-saving medication.”
Must be a right-wing conspiracy to influence poor governor Fredo.
“Why is the governor banning it?” asked Mr. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Everything shows that it works.”
That stupid bladder cancer or he would have won governor and maybe served a long time.
Instead we get fredo’s brother.

That’s why...it works. The communist SOBs were in on the attack from the get-go and want as many dead Americans as possible.
The good people of NY should tar & feather this communist POS.
There’s only 40 percent of us good people.
On staten island, 60 percent, probably 80 percent on the south shore and 15 percent on the north where obama’s sons live
We take care of our own on the south shore.
If someone needs it, they’ll get it.
It might cost a few extra bucks but it will be the real deal
The rest of the city can die off completely or all I care
Except bay ridge and sheepshead bay. Good itaian restaurants :)
cuomo is hoarding for HIS family including the felons
and prisoners he uses for power.
to the LEO and taxpayers, he brings death.
Hydroxychloroquine has been approved by the FDA for use in treating COVID-19. It’s a doctor-patient decision.
Cures do not fit the narrative. Panic. Fear. Hysteria and economic ruin.
No coincidence it is democrat governors who have restricted its use. One of them, the Nevada governor, was caught hoarding it.

It really does not matter if it cures the disease or so it seems to me. Covid is not cancer. It has a short lifespan in the host as seen by those who survive. If HCQ treats the symptoms well enough to prevent the virus from killing the patient that would seem enough of a reason to release.
Murder by FIAT.
True.
Second political drug in history.
A friend’s doctor friend was diagnosed with coronavirus after a trip to Colorado, was hospitalized, and was given hydroxychloroquine . . .and happy to say he is now recuperating at home.

How many died, who would have lived, if Cuomo had not politicized this?
Like he cares, or will be called to account for it.
Comrade Cuomo and the NV Gov hate Trump so much that they will prevent people from receiving potentially life-saving care.
He doesn't need a reason.
He's a GOVERNOR!
Grovel, peasant!
