In reality, the FDA revoked the EUA for hydroxychloroquine back in the summer when a clinical trial was unavailable. It is completely understandable why it was initially being used "off label". There were a couple of small studies that showed some success and the drug has been in use for a considerable amount of time as a treatment for malaria. Cuomo saying that NY had to review the data on the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was absurd, to say the least. Political nonsense.
