Very interesting info re/HCQ. It certainly has helped many with C-19. Dr. Stella - one of America Frontline Doctors, is from Africa and swears by it and is prescribing to her patients daily. I was told by 2 MDs that HCQ is safer than Ivermectin but Ivermectin helps with the C-19 at various stages of infection whereas HCQ needs to be taken at onset. I wouldn't want to take either one prophylactically but certainly want it if infected. Some US doctors have had great success with HCQ but Ivermectin would be my first choice per all the studies.
No med is candy - many say it is as safe as taking an aspirin which can also be toxic for some. There are couple telemedicine medical groups that have saved many by treating them with HCQ. Whatever keeps them out of the hospital and off of ventilators is a win. Compared to Remdesivir the HCQ is a miracle med.
