Summary: The commenter supports making hydroxychloroquine available over the counter, arguing that it was unfairly withheld during the COVID-19 pandemic and should be accessible to prevent or lessen symptoms of seasonal illnesses. They compare its availability to Tylenol and note its over-the-counter status in other countries.
Hydroxychloroquine should be made available over the counter for Americans. This vital medication was withheld from the American citizens during Covid, which was wrong and caused many deaths that could have been prevented. Tylenol can cause deadly overdoses, yet it is widely available over the counter left to the consumer to follow directions. With Covid now being a part of the seasonal sicknesses and this being a medication that if kept in hand can prevent/lessen symptoms it should be over the counter. It’s also available over the counter in third world countries. Please make Hydroxychloroquine available to our people as well. Thank you!
