About The Quinism Foundation The Quinism Foundation, founded in January 2018, in White River Junction, Vermont, promotes and supports education and research on quinism, the family of medical disorders caused by exposure to quinoline drugs, including mefloquine, tafenoquine, and chloroquine.
That reads like a think-tank for a class-action lawsuit.

It sounds like dosage & duration are the key factors.
Give the lowest dose necessary for the shortest amount of time to overcome the virus and monitor all adverse symptoms.

The stink of ambulance chasers is strong on this one.

We can’t use vaccines yet. The Chinese virus has not yet gotten President Trump out of office.

I seen some recent research papers stating that colloidal silver nano-particles reduces the side effects of toxic drugs, too, while making the drugs more efficient for their intended use.

“I took a full course so I wouldn’t get malaria.”

Instead of one of the quinine derivatives, doxycycline (an antibiotic) is another option to prevent malaria. You take one each day, and it wipes out most food borne illness as well (which is especially great in India).

Antibiotics have some potential side effects too, but I ask the Doc for doxycycline for my anti-malarials. I am one of those Service members who have had a bad experience with quinine derivative anti-malarials. Ever since, I just tell the Doc that they give me bad nightmares, and get the doxycycline instead.

Bottom line is that the risk is low with either option, but some individuals may have a bad reaction to either.

That sounds really stupid.

We want to mostly use this as a preventative (as we have for the past continuous seventy years with malaria) for a few months until the strain dies off.

I haven’t seen any projections asserting that this strain will be around for over a year.

Give it to the people working with the elderly and infirm.

From the article, drinking several bottles of tonic water may lead to pharmaceutical levels of quinolones.

I used to drink a lot of that stuff. No way I'm the wonder I am.

In the “trial” everyone is quoting, it wasn’t used on critical cases. All patients survived regardless of whether they received chloroquinine or not. The patients who received the drug just recovered faster. So, we really don’t know its efficacy in critical cases. This is why we need a real trial. Fast tracked, but not skipped.

6 days of therapeutic use are going to be as bad as however long on it as a bug prophylactic?

That's possible. It depends on the dosage difference and any possible difference between giving to someone who is healthy and someone in critical condition.

I’ve taken it for several month periods a few times in my life and nothing other than some minor gastro issues that could have been caused by anything

This stuff has been around in one form or another since the mid-1950s and used extensively by the U.S. military. IF I had the virus, I’d definitely take my chances with it in a NY second over what some 2018 lawyerized think tank may believe..
Libs are a virus...the DemoVirus.

“CDC has no limits on the use of hydroxychloroquine for the prevention of malaria. When hydroxychloroquine is used at higher doses for many years, a rare eye condition called retinopathy has occurred. People who take hydroxychloroquine for more than five years should get regular eye exams. “

The risks of these drugs are known and now they are being deliberately overhyped.

People wont have to be on them very long, and they don’t have to take that much either for them to work.

For everyone believing the insanity that the world will end with millions dead, a relatively benign, well-known and been-around, generally well-tolerated and safe drug seems to be worrying them a lot more.

And that speaks volumes.

If they cant destroy trump with the coronavirus, how do rhey stop him getting re-elected?

They sure did crap their panties over the long-term damage the virus could do didn’t they?

Lot worse than this.
