That was the time period where the government was limiting supply. It was not caused by the Frontline Doctors, who started much later than that.

- ceejayoz 3y agoThat would be odd, given the EUA. Feel free to provide a cite that the US government limited supply of HCQ in March/April 2020. I’ve cited plenty.
- cheaprentalyeti 3y agoSimply because they had a stockpile of 29 million doses they were sitting on in early April that wasn't actually making it to people with pre-covid problems it was used to treat. By June this was up to 63 million doses. I'm looking for a source that isn't a video.

- ceejayoz 3y agoYou’re supporting my point. That’s another example of credulous idiots buying up the supply out of a false belief it helps with COVID. In this case, mostly Republican governors and legislators. https://apnews.com/article/malaria-local-governments-ut-state-wire-ct-state-wire-sd-state-wire-f249bde40d0c676ba5330e4373ba207c https://apnews.com/article/malaria-local-governments-ut-stat...
- ofcourseyoudo 3y agothe link you provided was not the government limiting supply of the drug, it was restricting the prescriptions so that the people with lupous and rheumatoid would have a better chance of getting it, because hospitals were stockpiling it for offlabel use. The link you provided a few comments back even mentions that pharmacists were prescribing it for themselves and their family members. There were clearly a bunch of people hoarding it which would explain a) deaths from the drug when used to treat COVID and b) people that genuinely needed it not being able to get it.
