Let\u2019s look at each of them in turn.<\/p>\n<p>First, the claim draws a false equivalency between vaccinations and medications. Vaccines are a preventative measure used to protect people from contracting a disease. Medications (like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin) are treatments that cannot be used until after someone becomes sick with a disease. The FDA does state that a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/regulatory-information\/search-fda-guidance-documents\/emergency-use-authorization-medical-products-and-related-authorities\">EUA<\/a>\u00a0may be declared \u201cwhen there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.\u201d Because a vaccine is preventive and Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are not, the approval of the two medications would not have banned the vaccine from emergency use authorization by the FDA.<\/p>\n<p>Second, this claim is founded on the belief that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are effective treatments for COVID-19. But they are not. Studies of both medications have failed to demonstrate that either medication is effective to treat COVID-19.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The claim is false; hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are ineffective treatments and wouldn&#8217;t have blocked vaccine authorization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","jtf_topic_subjects":[189,188,218],"class_list":["post-10785","jtf_topics","type-jtf_topics","status-publish","hentry","jtf_topic_subjects-covid-19","jtf_topic_subjects-mrna-vaccines","jtf_topic_subjects-vaccine-safety","entry","no-media"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/10785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/jtf_topics"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/10785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10788,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/10785\/revisions\/10788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"jtf_topic_subjects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topic_subjects?post=10785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
