It seems the media is concerned about Trumps approval rising. So, they’re going to censor his updates on the pandemic as they see fit.

And what’s this...

Michigan’s Democratic Governor

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/op...ce/2922272001/

Quote:
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.”

During a time of crisis, in which physicians continue to see patients despite not having enough protective gear, this threatening, authoritarian stance from our governor is counterproductive at best.

Compare that to this Democratic Governor

Gov. Cuomo: ‘I Agree With Trump,’ Orders Trial of Anti-Malaria Drug Touted by POTUS To Start Tomorrow

https://newsthud.com/gov-cuomo-i-agr...tart-tomorrow/

Quote:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo came to his senses and said he agreed with President Trump and that the anti-malaria drug Trump has touted is worth a shot.

There has been some information that it could work and the media blasted Trump for agreeing and offering hope to a nation.

Cuomo announced that the test will start tomorrow, and thanked the Trump admin for getting it done quickly.

We have secured 70,000 hydrocloroquin and 10,000 zithromax from the federal government. I want to thank the FDA for moving very expeditiously to get us this supply,” Cuomo said.

Maybe the tide is turning...
