Michigan’s Democrat Governor Threatens Doctors Who Prescribe Anti-Malaria Drugs to Coronavirus Victims

Michigan Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer threatens doctors or pharmacies who prescribe anti-malaria drug to coronavirus patients












Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is the latest Democrat to ban doctors from prescribing potentially lifesaving drugs hydroxychloroquine and Z-Paks to save senior citizens from the coronavirus.






Whitmer’s decision follows Nevada’s Democrat Governor Sisolak who also banned the drug.


Per Detroit News:


If you live in Michigan, and you or a loved one is infected with this potentially lethal disease, you’re out of luck.


Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs literally threatened all doctors and pharmacists in the state who prescribe or dispense hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.





The agency’s March 24 letter warns physicians and pharmacists of professional consequences for the prescribing of hydroxychloroquine (and chloroquine). Beyond the rational recommendation against hoarding as production of this medication needs to be ramped up, the letter deviates into open threats of “administrative action” against the licenses of doctors that prescribe hydroxychloroquine.


The letter also instructs pharmacists to ignore physician orders for this medication. Due to the debate over a pharmacist’s right to refuse to fill medications that go against their religious beliefs, this could place pharmacists in the unprecedented position of being told that they must fill prescriptions that violate their “conscience (religious belief)” but must not fill prescriptions to treat COVID-19.


Even worse, the letter indicates health care providers are “required to report” their fellow physicians who are prescribing these medications. This draconian measure carries ominous Gestapo-like overtones of neighbor reporting neighbor to “authorities.”
