If I found myself in this situation I would shop for another doctor. If my doctor told me he would not prescribe a medication that has been proven to be safe for decades, was cheap and could help me survive a pandemic killing people in my age group, I would not hesitate to find another doctor.

When I became an adult and got married I went looking for a doctor. When I got a sore throat I went to see this doctor for the first time. He was out sick so I saw a different doctor in the same location. We got along great. I never saw the other doctor and this other doctor was my primary doctor for 14 years.

Good luck with your dilemma.
