I agree it is unfortunate that what should purely be a medical/risk management decision has become politicized.
Fortunately the Ohio's governor intervened to make the pharmacy board reversed their ban <https://www.wkbn.com/news/coronavirus/ohio-board-of-pharmacy-withdraws-hydroxychloroquine-ruling-after-gov-dewines-request/>. Whether any particular treatment is effective or not, the decision must remain one made by the patient and their doctor, in my opinion.
