Shouldn't you be going after your Medical Association, the American Pharmacists Association, and American Society of Health-System Pharmacists? The link provides a state by state recommendation for dispensing chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine.
Also, this appears to be an internal political debate within the AMA and and it's members over policies "that interfere with what a physician thinks is best for his or her patients." Did you as a member work with your association to change this policy? Why did it take 9 months for your AMA and it's members to reach this conclusion?
AMA member Goldman's resolution contains four resolves. The AMA should:
* Rescind the March statement calling for physicians to stop prescribing the drugs until there's conclusive evidence that the harm outweighs the benefit during the early stage of the disease course
* Replace that March statement with one that notifies patients "that further studies are ongoing to clarify any potential benefit of hydroxychloroquine and combination therapies for the treatment of COVID-19"
* Reassure COVID-19 patients receiving these drugs that their physicians prescribing them do have the ability to prescribe for off-label use
* Take actions to require pharmacists to fill valid prescriptions issued by physicians, consistent with AMA policy.
These sound like sound, legitimate protocols for the AMA to adapt. I'm glad they did.

"Follow the the science" Chris, and his merry band of lemmings. Science and Fauci were all over the place, looking like a bunch of flip- flopping fools. This drug had been used for over 50 yr with no problems, yet now it was determined to be a killer. Bullshit, it was bad because Trump mentioned it. Trump wins again, he was right
