I was just reading the comments on Trump's tweet about Plaquenil, and my jaw hit the floor. The amount of misinformation is unbelievable, even from supposed "doctors." I can assure you that Plaquenil is a very safe drug. It can sometimes cause damage to the eyes when taken for long periods of time. I have been on the drug for six years, taking it every day, and have never had a problem. I also have a mother and brother, with similar autoimmune problems, and they both have been on it for years, and also have had zero issues. It is utter bullshit, that people are going to die from the drug!

Can confirm. I'm also a Plaquenil user. My doc prescribed it for arthritis. As with any chronic condition, you will likely be taking pills your whole life, safety over a lifetime is key. The doctor told me this med is given to pregnant women, women who are nursing, children, even babies infected with malaria with no I'll effects. Of course they should continue testing but it's already proven helpful to many people. Thank God for the right to try.
