The right to try gives people access to try drugs in the trial phase if they are facing a life threatening condition. The idea is to let people try drugs that have not been approved yet. HCQ has already been approved so it is not in the clinical trial phase, and this is not applicable.

HCQ has not been approved for use on covid, so that explanation holds no water
in fact 22 states have made it illegal for doctors to prescribe for covid simply because it has not been approved for covid

Just fyi, off label prescription is perfectly legal and is a significant portion of all prescriptions. Most treatments exist because of off label prescription as its origin.
A dr. notices patient responds to precription written for something else. He mentions this to group of doctors.
Group of doctors then write same prescription but to treat what first doctor noticed. These doctors inform group of doctors of results. If successful this gets written up in journals and shared with many doctors. Many other doctors then report their part of the feedback loop. This becomes prescribed treatment and therefore label treatment.
Banning off label prescription is a direct attack of science, doctors, and patients. There is no other interpretation.

If there is a alternate treatment then they can't make billions on a vaccine. Last sentence under FDA EUA criteria and submissions, https://www.emergobyul.com/blog/2020/03/covid-19-response-what-manufacturers-should-know-about-us-fda-emergency-use

It's not allowed, since it's effective. We can't have that, since OrangeManBad (TM).

The answer to your question is that the folks pushing the china virus scare are trying to kill people with it. HCQ cures/treats covid, if they want you to die, they won't allow you to have it.

Stop being a little bitch and go buy HCQ on the dark web. Go treat someone with Covid and let us know what happens...
[–] CryptoBard 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I'll buy it over the counter if needed.
Here's what I'll share for you though, https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=cY0TH-DTYEI

that was the sars virus not sars2
[–] BLATBLAT4muhGAT ago
They share majority of the gene composition. Thats why this virus is called sars-cov-2. Chloroquine was proven to work against sars-cov. HCQ is simply a less toxic medicinal version of chloroquine, so it will work the same. The use of HCQ in practice has proven it extremely successful in treating SARS-COV-2 when paired with zinc and zithromax.

Fake ailments don't need medication.

Colds and flus are not fake.
Gtfo of here with your quackery.
[–] FreeinTX 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Doctors don't prescribed drugs for colds, unless you catch a bacterial infection from a lowed immunity.
[–] 24601_JeanValJean 1 point 3 points 4 points (+4|-1) ago
There is nothing fake about sars cov-2. It is real and indeed infecting people and killing some, just like nearly any virus does. This one is a depopulating bitch and more virulent than it's handlers planned.
[–] FreeinTX 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
A .017 death rate with an average age of the dead years past life expectancy who were also hampered with, on the average, 2 prior serious medical issues.
Half the dead are from Cuomo putting covid patients in old folks homes.
This is a bullshit scare mongering power grab.

2005 paper stating hydroxychloroquine is useful as a prophylactic or treatment whilst infected..

Cause it's been approved for over a decade.

Because the entire game is rigged against you.
That's why.
