Why are we letting governors dictate medical policy regarding Covid 19

We are seeing the government dictate what medications can be used to treat Covid 19.  There is no question that partisan politics has cost many Americans their lives.  The complete dismissal of Hydroxychloroquine should be seen as the equivalent to murder.  There was never any evidence that this drug was dangerous.  

This is directly from the CDC website:

"You will need to take prescription medicine before, during, and after your trip to prevent malaria. Your doctor can help you decide which medicine is right for you, and also talk to you about other steps you can take to prevent malaria." 

One of the most widely used medications for this has been  Hydroxchloroquine.  Notice it says before, during, and after your trip.  The CDC recommends several weeks of medications starting several days before you travel and several days after returning to the United States.  

"Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are FDA-approved drugs used to prevent and treat certain types of malaria." Also approved for used in rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.  The CDC also mentions with frequent dosing RARELY reported adverse events include retinopathy and cardiac arrhythmia in those with liver or kidney dysfunction.  

Notice how this does not say arrhythmia in all patients, it says rarely reported in those with liver or kidney dysfunction.  Precisely why a prescription from a licensed Medical Doctor.  The restrictions by politicians and even pharmacists has taken away the tools doctors use for saving lives. 

Would anyone have thought that was the reason for such great concern from the media over this potentially life saving drug?  Of course not!  Most people were given the impression that this medication, that has been used to prevent and to malaria for over 60 years, was the equivalent to the prescribing of cyanide.  

Explain to me how any reasonably intelligent person could equate this medication that has been used for years to being poison?  It is not possible if people look at the evidence.  There is no other way to explain the outlandish claims by the left other than partisan politics.  

The partisan play by the left has cost lives.  It has cost trillions of dollars and extensive destruction to our economy and ruined many people's lives by keeping them out of work or keeping their businesses closed for months.  

This is clear evidence that the left and the media do not care about people.  They can not care about people and at the same time be pushing for a ban on drugs that could save their lives and get our economy up and running as soon as possible.  

It is shameful.  The collateral damage that has been done across the country has been devastating.
