He's a pharmacy tech who believes hydroxychloroquine is dangerous to take.

I said it can cause blindness. (it can)

It can cause blindness for people who use it for a VERY long time, which some people do when they have lupus or other conditions. The blindness is temporary and returns normally when the person is taken off of hydroxy for a period of time. Something that even the dumbest of pharmacy techs should know. Especially given how often this drug is administered.

Which has nothing to do with the normal use of hydroxychloroquine for treating covid. How many people went blind from using it for covid? Zero.

And also a complete numbnut pharmacy tech would refer to a drug in use since the 70's as a horse dewormer. You know, that same de-wormer that knocked out Indias covid pandemic? Yea, that one.

please...

Quote:Hydroxychloroquine retinopathy
It is known that some people who take
hydroxychloroquine for more than five years
and/or in high doses are at increased risk of
damage to their retina, the light sensitive layer
of cells at the back of the eye. This is known as
retinal toxicity or retinopathy...

Severe retinopathy, especially in the central area
called the macula, causes significant, irreversible
sight loss.

Dear pharmacy tech, you do realize that the normal treatment regimen for hydroxychloroquine cor covid is for about 2 weeks, right? This is why your statement was both hilarious (in that you didnt know better, and you should if you are good at your job) and dangerous. Noone who takes hydroxy for covid is at any danger of losing their eyesight. Noone.

Doctors who know what they are talking about: "Drink plenty of water everyday, as it is good for your heart."

Failing pharmacy tech: "Oh muh Gerd! Someone once died from drinking 10 liters of water in a day. Water will kill you! You're a nazi if you dont believe so. Nazis also drank water!"
