Ridgewood NJ, In a letter sent Monday, Republican U.S. Senate and former United States Food and Drug official Dr. Rik Mehta, along with former Assistant Secretary of Health and retired 4-star Admiral Dr. Joxel Garcia, applauded the work of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Stephen Hahn, MD, and admonished a dangerous and irresponsible letter issued by Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez and Rep. Bill Pascrell in which they decried FDA for fast-tracking the review process for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) while calling on Commissioner Hahn to halt the use of these potential treatment options for COVID-19 patients.
