I hope the shortage continues.
Not that I don’t want autistic children who need help to have treatment.
But they should not be abused with fake treatments like leucovorin
Touting this as a possible cure is criminal
theatlantic.com The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 2h
The Trump administration hailed leucovorin as a miracle drug for autism. But parents’ efforts to get the medication have been marked by prescription problems, possible shortages, and a distinct lack of data, Tom Bartlett reports.
The Botched Rollout of Trump’s Autism Miracle Drug
Parents are desperate to get leucovorin for their children, but the administration has offered little help.
