Whether HCQ is effective at preventing and treating COVID-19 is beside the point.
Across the country, some doctors like us are taking HCQ as a prophylactic to try to stay healthy so that we can keep treating our patients.
At least 20 states have enacted HCQ restrictions, even up to forbidding prescriptions to patients who haven't tested positive for COVID-19.
To force physicians to wait for test results before treating the disease may cost lives.
With more than a dozen formal studies in the United States already underway, definitive answers regarding HCQ's effectiveness will come soon.
Researchers at NYU Langone and the University of Washington are conducting a randomized control trial to examine whether HCQ limits the chances of contracting COVID-19, with results expected this summer.
We should be allowed to try to help our patients without ridicule or unjustified laws designed to stop us.
