Hoarding? It is available in the US by prescription only. The only hoarding that could occur is by the people best qualified to control its use - medical professionals. The government screwed that up too by trying to prevent them from prescribing the medication unless the government approved. The artificial shortage of this drug came from clueless politicians and media promoting its unproven effectiveness causing an unnecessary spike in demand.

Meanwhile people who did actually need it because, you know, actual reasons, suddenly found that there was none available anywhere. So large groups of people were buying up the supply, without any actual need for themselves. That's hoarding. It's even worse though, because they can't return those drugs, so yay!
