[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s important to note that chloroquine is extremely toxic and its derivative hydroxychloroquine is less toxic, but still has toxicity risks. Most of those risks increase with time you’ve been on this drug. Toxicity risks include but are not limited to retinal damage. I don’t think chloroquine is prescribed in the US due to its high toxicity, but hydroxychloroquine is prescribed to many many lupus and rheumatoid arthritis patients as a life saving medication. It takes time to build up in the system which is why it’s important to keep a steady supply of it if you suffer from these diseases and this medication helps. Why it works for autoimmune diseases is still up for discussion, but they believe it modulates the immune system in some way, which makes sense (to me) if it helps covid sufferers as they suspect one reason they become dangerously sick is that the immune system is staging an overwhelming response to the virus. The dose given for malaria prevention is quite small compared to the dose given for lupus, etc. (example I can take 200-400 mg daily while anti malaria dose I think is 400mg WEEKLY). I know all of this because I take the drug and am beyond angered and frustrated that my supply is in peril because of Trump’s recklessness.[/quote]

how is he reckless - he merely repeated what was in the news. [/quote]
