it’s not entirely safe (IF it’s akin to Quinine) - If so, it can cause allergic reactions, sudden death, have effects on heart, kidneys, or blood cells - there are some medical conditions that increase the chance of bad side effects- Which i think is why they might be hesitant to try this en mass without running studies on it first-

BUT- these side effects are pretty rare- and honestly- given the choice of dying from virus, or possibly getting side effects from treatment, I’d choose the treatment- every time- especially given the fact that the side effects are rare-

You are right but if you forgive me repeating myself all it does is open the cell for the Zinc. It is the zinc. Results, anecdotally, are rapid and dramatic! Safe dosage, brief duration rapid results.

“not entirely safe (IF it’s akin to Quinine)”

Safe means safe under indicated usage with associated contraindications and known adverse events, ie side effects.

If a doctor gave, for example, 10 times the dose at a 5 times more frequent schedule it would not be considered safe.

I heard somewhere that hydroxychloroquine had fewer side effects than mere chloroquine.

As a child, my mother gave me quinine to suppress the very high fever that accompanies malaria. All I knew that it was produced from a treebark. I remember that it was a tiny, white, sugar-coated pill. WE were warned not to crush the pill. I understood that quinine is so bitter that crushing the pill can cause the patient to throw up for hours. My mother always gave the pill with a glass of water and warned me not to chew on it.

It brought the fever down every time.

Quinine has been around since 1955? I'm pretty sure these drugs have been well tested with most drug combinations / side effects / other conditions.
