Hey, Senator! 👋 I’m glad we agree that it’s critical to trust science & listen to medical professionals...now and always. In a time of panic, misinformation can be dangerous, so let me help you out (make sure to read the whole thread)...
1. These regs were developed by the Nevada Board of Pharmacy in coordination with NV’s Chief Medical Officer and our COVID-19 Medical Advisory Team. They’re medical professionals. Really smart folks. I trust them.
2. As written in the regs, doctors can still administer these drugs to admitted patients, including #COVID19 patients, if they deem it medically necessary. Once again, leaving it to the medical professionals 🧑🏽⚕️👨🏼⚕️. Check out the regs here: nvhealthresponse.nv.gov/wp-content/upl…
3. On March 20, the Texas State Board of Pharmacy adopted even stricter restrictions than NV for the same drugs. To help you learn how your state took stricter moves to limit these drugs (plus a couple others!), I’ve included this link: kxan.com/news/state-boa…
4. Here’s the deal: medical professionals don’t want bad actors to harm Nevadans (or Texans!) by creating a shortage of critical drugs for those that need it the most.
We’re in a pandemic. As leaders, let’s stand together as Americans to forget the partisan politics, put the health & safety of our citizens first, & commit to sharing accurate information. We can mitigate and stop #COVID19 if we do it together.
