And ironically, in late March he invoked the Defense Production Act to order certain companies to produce ventilators as fast as possible.

Regarding HCQ and IVM - he should have IMMEDIATELY ordered pharmacies to FILL prescriptions. CVS and Walgreens just refused to fill them, and this was allowed to continue.

Matt Pottinger and Jared Kushner were behind the ventilator fiasco, iirc.

I agree that pharmacists should never have been alllowed to second guess and veto doctors' IVM & HCQ prescriptions.

He's the "builder" - so they threw him a bone and gave him that task - something to do that he could speak on, and appear believable in front of the public.

Ventilators are just a machine. It's the protocol they devised that killed people. So I can't fault him (or Kushner et al) for that. Warp speed is the problem, and not making SURE that doctors were free to prescribe, and that people had access to HCQ/IVM both in hospital and outpatient.

They didn't refuse Plaquenil but someone may have had to write something down for dx. Different than what actual dx was..

Dr. Meryl Nass license was suspended for that. She was treating tele, and that is what initially (supposedly) rankled their chain. Maine.

Seems to me that people were instructed to use that 'technilogy' . But who am , some antagonistic Lilly.
