19 Oklahoma wants to return $2 million in hydroxychloroquine it hoarded after Trump said it cured COVID

Right, dumb asses, it only works in 3rd world countries, not in the USA.

Wonder what $2 million worth of old hydroxychloroquine is worth now? lol

The Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office has been tasked with attempting to return a $2 million stockpile of a malaria drug once touted by former President Donald Trump as a way to treat the coronavirus.

In April, Gov. Kevin Stitt, who ordered the hydroxychloroquine purchase, defended it by saying that while it may not be a useful treatment for the coronavirus, the drug had multiple other uses and “that money will not have gone to waste in any respect.”

But nearly a year later the state is trying to offload the drug back to its original supplier, California-based FFF Enterprises, Inc, a private pharmaceutical wholesaler.

Stitt was criticized last year for the $2 million purchase, a move viewed by some as a partisan move to curry favor with conservatives who were defending Trump amid criticism of his own support of the drug. But Stitt defended the purchase at the time by likening it to the race early last year to procure personal protective equipment for Oklahomans, believing it was better to have the hydroxychloroquine stockpile and not need it, rather than to later learn the drug was useful but not have it.

The state purchased the hydroxychloroquine stockpile in early April, days after Trump began to tout it as a treatment. While many acknowledged at the time that reports of the drug’s effectiveness were purely anecdotal, Trump said at a briefing in March, “What do we have to lose? I feel very good about it.”

It’s unclear yet how much of the initial $2 million investment in the hydroxychloroquine the state could recoup. FFF Enterprises did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I will take $30.00 of it

Send them an offer. They might take $30 for the lot, just to get rid of it.

Why doesn't the Governor sell it to the public or local pharmacies...

Hell, I'd buy a little of it to keep in my preps...

Because nobody wants it.

You can't return toilet paper. Get over it. I could not by Hydroxychloquine for my Daughter when she was sick. How can you buy $2,000,000 worth of this stuff without a prescription?

Dumbass. The State bought it for their pharmaceutical stockpile.

Imagine being dumb enough to buy a $2 million stockpile of hydroxychloroquine because the Bleach Injection President told you to do so.

Then imagine trying to return that stockpile.

Imagine Oklahoma.

The problem is that Oklahoma doctors will not prescribe it in early stages because it doesn’t work against late stage Covid. Seriously, that is the problem.

The Governor can’t require them to prescribe it.

Can a Governor make it an over the counter or does that require the fda?
