Summary: The commenters, identifying as physicians, support the petition by arguing that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has a long history of safe use in specific medical conditions. They claim that the current restrictions on the drug are politically motivated and lack a scientific basis.
We- as physicians in multiple specialties- had used HCQ for decades in select rheumatological diseased and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) patients as established medical practice. There is simply no scientific basis to have made "after the fact" claims that this was somehow all of a sudden a highly dangerous drug. Medical practice should not be compromised for political purposes to serve the corrupt interest of big pharma.
