Gov. Gretchen Whitmer drew fire from some on the right after the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) sent a letter last week threatening "administrative action" against doctors who prescribed two experimental drugs that could potentially help coronavirus patients.

The Whitmer administration has since removed the language threatening doctors from the letter and is now asking the federal government to send shipments of the drugs, Bridge magazine reports. The Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency authorization for the antimalarial drugs hydroxychloroquine sulfate and chloroquine phosphate on Saturday.

Conservatives including Charlie Kirk and Rudy Guiliani accused Whitmer of risking lives to oppose President Donald Trump. In recent weeks, Whitmer and Trump have been sparring on national television over federal aid for Michigan, while Trump has touted the drugs' potential in treating COVID-19.

Gess she gets to eat crow. But she did the right thing so OK. The drug works, FDA fastracked it too.

If you stand up to the idiot Democrats, they will back down, and fast.

I applaud Whitmer for not letting her party alliances send her down a counterproductive trail.
She is doing the right thing and that's never bad.

Let ‘s see how many dumb assed democrats accuse her of chest thumping. Lies, and perpetuating a hoax on Michiganites. Breathe whilst you wait.

But the government advisory sparked blowback from the political right. In tweets later deleted for violating Twitter rules, conservative activist Charlie Kirk and Rudy Guiliani, Trump’s personal attorney, accused Whitmer of “threatening doctors” and risking lives to oppose the president.

State officials have pushed back against similar claims, arguing Michigan is simply urging doctors to adhere to traditional standards of practice and exercise appropriate professional judgement.

“We want to ensure that doctors have the ability to prescribe these medicines,” the governor said in a press briefing. “We also want to make sure that the people who have prescriptions that predated COVID-19 have access to the medication they need. And so all of the work that we’ve done is trying to strike that balance.”
