“Why?”
Thank you for asking a question.
This product, hydroxychloroquine, is dangerous to the targeted patients that need it for C-19. This includes patients with an age greater than 60 years.
There is also a possibility of cardiac arrest, cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy, endocarditis and myocarditis associated with hydroxychloroquine treatment even among light cases. The drug can also cause bone marrow depression, anaemia, aplastic anaemia, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, and porphyria exacerbation. Problems not in the best interest of the aged or pre-conditioned.
This drug is not a targeted treatment for C-19 yet. So until testing is done, dosage will be a guess at best, even by physicians. Dangerous. So the doctors could be giving placebos by not doing enough, or poison. And it’s a coin flip considering each patient when trying to consider treating someone with a drug that has a history of problems as each patient is going to be different.

All drugs have potential risks. The question is, how risky? And is it riskier than, say, Ibuprofen?
