That was a little joke for Blueash, who called one of the Doctors I linked to above a Fox News contributor. I have read reports that pharmacies were told to stop filling prescriptions by Doctors who were prescribing it for themselves and their families. I doubt that is causing a shortage. Its likely caused by Doctors all over the world prescribing it for coronavirus patients combined with Doctors who were already prescribing it for malaria, lupus, arthritis etc. I know India has now banned export of the drug from their manufacturers.
