President Trump called hydroxychloroquine a 'game-changer' in the fight against the coronavirus. But for patients who depend on it, that triggered shortages and a black market as pharmacies started running out.
Pearce has lupus and takes hydroxychloroquine every day. Recently, her local pharmacy in Vermont ran out of the drugs and stopped filling her long-term prescription. So, she found an authorized online seller and bought a shipment of the medicine, paying $178 out-of-pocket."My hydroxychloroquine was sent from the United Kingdom and it took about three weeks to get here," Pearce said."In the meantime, I've had to go down on my dosage, just to make it last.
Over a few weeks, Trump incorrectly claimed they were"safe" to tread Covid-19, encouraged Americans to"try it," and said there would be"nothing lost" by touting their potential upside.Before Trump ever publicly mentioned the drugs, right-wing firebrands and conspiracy theorists shared information about chloroquine online, according to the Washington Post.
