A couple of days ago I was watching this announcement by Dr. Fauci. Afterwards I scrolled through the comment section (as I'm always interested in getting to know people's views) and came across the following comment:
hydroxychloroquine had no side effects at all until covid19 it was used for years now the ban it!!!
My goodness, the story we tell ourselves. The extent to which we (humans) willingly (?) reshape reality to fit it within the framework of our own beliefs.
Personally, I had never heard of this medication before this entire COVID-19 nightmare. Your article brings incredibly important, but also terrifying information. Patients arriving at a hospital under critical conditions have no time to have their eyes checked before being medicated. Stories like the 61 year-old lady who lost her vision as a side effect of a treatment is simply heart-breaking :/ Yet, we find ourselves in a situation where major world authorities push people to try this drug while asking "what do you have to lose?".
As @launch3d observed, this is an excellent article - as expected! :) Highlighting the reasons underlying why damage might persist even after hydroxicloroquine therapy is interrupted (due to accumulation in the tissues), brought further thoroughness to your work.
Your scientific writings never fail to impress me my dear friend.
I trust you, your husband and children are healthy and safe over there in NY.
Much love to you from sunny, warm Portugal <3 :*
