Gov. Ralph Northam is denying Virginians who contract Covid 19 timely access to a life-saving, safe, FDA approved drug, used by multi millions of people for 65 years!
Delegate Dave LaRock introduced H.J. Res 5002 to simply allow physicians the right to prescribe Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Governor Northam’s signature is not needed, nor can he veto it.
Today in Virginia, HCQ can only be prescribed in hospital (“in-patient”) settings. By the time a patient is hospitalized with Covid-19, HCQ will not be effective.
