Oklahoma Seeking to Return $2,000,000 Worth of Hydroxychloroquine
🇺🇸@COVID19Up: The Oklahoma attorney general’s office is attempting to return $2 million worth of a malaria drug once touted by Donald Trump as an effective treatment for COVID-19.
Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt defended the purchase last year, saying the drug was showing some promise as a treatment in early March and he didn’t want to miss an opportunity to acquire it.
“I was being proactive to try and protect Oklahomans,” Stitt said.
The drug has since been shown to have little or no effect on severe cases of COVID-19, and a former state health official chalked up Oklahoma’s purchase to something that happens in “the fog of war.” SOURCE
