Here's evidence that the allegation of smearing of hydroxychloroquine by the FDA is a conspiracy theory.

"FDA cautions against use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for COVID-19 outside of the hospital setting or a clinical trial due to risk of heart rhythm problems"

https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-cautions-against-use-hydroxychloroquine-or-chloroquine-covid-19-outside-hospital-setting-or

It's irrelevant that primary care providers and rheumatologists have prescribed hydroxychloroquine for millions of people as outpatients, taking billions of doses for _years_, including people with heart disease.

Somehow taking HCQ for five days at clinical dosing is dangerous in the context of covid for people without heart disease as outpatients, when it's not dangerous for people with heart disease outside of the covid context (e.g., for lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) to take HCQ as outpatients for years, according to the FDA. And we know that the FDA can be trusted to be reliable and competent.

So, clearly, the allegation that the FDA smeared hydroxychloroquine is a conspiracy theory.
