I APPRECIATE T.
>> EVEN AS WISCONSIN PREPARED TO
DISTRIBUTE VACCINE, THE SENATE
HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE IN
WASHINGTON TOOK TESTIMONY FROM
CLINICIANS WHO CONTINUE TO PUSH
FOR DISPROVEN THERAPIES FOR THE
VIRUS.
AT THE OUTSET, THE CHAIR,
REPUBLICAN U.S. SENATOR RON

>> AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS
EPIDEMIC, WHEN I FIRST HEARD
ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF HIVE
DROKSSY CHLOROQUINE, IT
INTRIGUED ME BECAUSE TO ME A

TABLETS ARE PRODUCED EVERY YEAR,

IF THAT COULD BE PROVEN TO BE
EFFECTIVE, WOULDN'T THAT BE THE
DREAM SOLUTION?
WHY DIDN'T WE PURSUE THAT?
>> BY THURSDAY, JOHNSON,
TOGETHER WITH REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE MEMBER SENATOR RAND
PAUL, SENT A LETTER TO THE
NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH.
THE LETTER ASKED THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO EXPEDITE ITS
REVIEW
