Governments are hoarding more than 100 million doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) while victims of COVID-19 are dying from lack of early treatment, which an increasing number of physicians and scientists believe is crucial for saving lives. In many places, particularly in nursing homes, victims of COVID-19 are still unable to access HCQ, states the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS).
Many governors and other officials have impeded the availability of HCQ to millions of Americans, including front-line medical personnel in hospitals, COVID-19 patients’ caregivers, and others exposed to the virus.

Vox quoted from a 2010 Rockefeller Foundation document, Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development . The scenario named Lock Step described “a world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation.” This was enabled by a pandemic, which “also had a deadly effect on economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a halt, debilitating industries like tourism and breaking global supply chains…. Normally bustling shops and office buildings sat empty for months.” National governments “flexed their authority and imposed airtight rules and restrictions, from the mandatory wearing of face masks to body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces.” The pandemic faded, but “this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified.” Was this prescient?
