This is actually causing a severe shortage at many pharmacies and hospitals. People are rushing out and hoarding this drug, preventing us from having adequate supplies for treating the serious cases.

Isn't this a prescription controlled drug?

Yes, but many doctors aren't as ethical as they should be.

Faulty generalization = the fallacy of examining just one or very few examples or studying a single case, and generalizing that to be representative of the whole class of objects or phenomena.

Even worse, it’s leaving people with Lupus and arthritis in a position to quit the medication that’s keeping them alive/comfortable cold turkey.

And then you get this word salad that sounds like a forward from grandpa, early AOL era (even including all-caps): “HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You! Hopefully they will BOTH (H works better with A, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents)”
All based on some data from a Petri dish, and a non-randomized trial where they measured “virus load” by eyeballing it: https://mobile.twitter.com/GaetanBurgio/status/1241201751916...
This is insanity, Nero-style (only without actual style). You couldn’t kill more people if you tried.
