US stockpile stuck with 63 million doses of hydroxychloroquine
(CNN)The federal government is stuck with 63 million doses of hydroxychloroquine now that the US Food and Drug Administration has revoked permission for the drug to be distributed to treat coronavirus patients.
The government started stockpiling donated hydroxychloroquine in late March, after President Trump touted it as "very encouraging" and "very powerful" and a "game-changer."

(527 posts)Holding on to meds with expiration dates is useless. Im sure don the con already made money off of the sales to the government and there is no reason to keep it from those who can use it. I hate that he profited off of it but I want to see it put to use to help people. Im sure he was intending to use it to reward his cronies but can we move on now that its been shown useless for Covid?
