Now They Admit Treatment & Benefits Far Outweigh The Risk.
Nov 2020 Special Meeting of the AMA House of Delegates - Handbook Addendum (ama-assn.org)
See Specific text on p 18 of the report
Whereas, The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious medical issue, people are dying, and 2 physicians must be able to perform as sagacious prescribers; therefore be it 3 4
RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association rescind its statement calling for physicians 5 to stop prescribing hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine until sufficient evidence becomes 6 available to conclusively illustrate that the harm associated with use outweighs benefit early in 7 the disease course. Implying that such treatment is inappropriate contradicts AMA Policy 8 H-120.988, “Patient Access to Treatments Prescribed by Their Physicians,” that addresses off 9 label prescriptions as appropriate in the judgement of the prescribing physician (Directive to 10 Take Action); and be it further 11 12
RESOLVED, That our AMA rescind its joint statement with the American Pharmacists 13 Association and American Society of Health System Pharmacists, and update it with a joint 14 statement notifying patients that further studies are ongoing to clarify any potential benefit of 15 hydroxychloroquine and combination therapies for the treatment of COVID-19 (Directive to Take 16 Action); and be it further 17 18
RESOLVED, That our AMA reassure the patients whose physicians are prescribing 19 hydroxychloroquine and combination therapies for their early-stage COVID-19 diagnosis by 20 issuing an updated statement clarifying our support for a physician’s ability to prescribe an FDA21 approved medication for off label use, if it is in her/his best clinical judgement, with specific 22 reference to the use of hydroxychloroquine and combination therapies for the treatment of the 23 earliest stage of COVID-19 (Directive to Take Action); and be it further
RESOLVED, That our AMA take the actions necessary to require local pharmacies to fill valid 26 prescriptions that are issued by physicians and consistent with AMA principles articulated in 27 AMA Policy H-120.988, “Patient Access to Treatments Prescribed by Their Physicians,” 28 including working with the American Pharmacists Association and American Society of Health 29 System Pharmacists. (Directive to Take Action)
Comment:
In case you thought you couldn't be anymore disgusted by the conduct of the "elites" during this "pandemic".
How many lives could have been saved by the use of the HCQ Cocktail? Thousands, tens of thousands? We will never know now.
Can we thank the Fifth Columnist Qusiling Media and Progressive Marxist/DSA Democaaaaarats for this? You can bet your arse on that.
Surely if Trump hadn't mentioned HCQ the media and progressives would have not nixed it.
