Regarding the controversy over the effectiveness of chloroquine, there are many doctors who report success with it against the corona virus, and some who report mixed results. Isn't that the norm with MOST drugs, i.e., they have varying effects on different patients.
Cancer treatments, for example, are wildly expensive yet have a success rate of well-under 100%, depending on the type of cancer. Even common OTC remedies don't always work., so why are the media insisting that if chloroquine isn't 100% effective against the corona virus, it is "snake oil," mere quackery?
I guess the answer is simple: Trump endorsed it. And maybe the second reason is that they - smug about their own safety - are hoping against a cure anytime soon, hoping that the carnage will wipe out Trump's hope for re-election.

Using Trump endorsing a drug is as funny as Sebastian Ghorka promoting his diet scheme.
The phrase, Stay in your lane comes to mind. I think Trump sounds silly when he goes off on that.

It appears that chloroquine works because it opens cells to healing zinc. Of course you should also take zinc with the chloroquine. The Azithromycin which is an antibiotic works as an anti-inflammatory in this situation. On the other hand, Vitamin C is also anti-inflammatory and a lot cheaper and readily available. Below is a link by Dr. Robert Cathcart who describes in great detail what he has learned from 10 years of treating 9000 patients with high vitamin C. Stuff you can do at home if sick and unable to get into a GOOD hospital.
