Good point. You know, since it seems pretty clear this stuff doesn’t cause harm, if you could get it without a prescription I’d keep some on hand and try it next time I fee some crud coming on. And I’d share the data with CDC no problem ;-)
Did anyone see the doctor that Tucker Carlson had on two nights in a row? On the second interview Tucker asked him if he was worried about his own health and the doc said he was more concerned for his wife and daughter who are also medical professionals. Then he dropped - out of the blue - that he’d been taking one of the anti-malarial drugs (I can’t find the exact name but “Paquenal” maybe?) as a prophylactic and he felt fine despite working with COVID-19 patients for weeks.
Tucker didn’t recognize the name but his producer did and he said there would be follow-up.
The best reason I’ve seen that this drug is effective is the vehemence with which the MSM tries to play it down.
MSM = Perfect Negative Barometer
(Whatever they tell you, the exact opposite is true.)

Dr. Oz said that he would take it as a prophylactic himself during a discussion about health care workers risk.
He also said he would not hesitate to use that and the ZPAC with a COVid-19 patient. I can’t remember if he mentioned the zinc, but that’s an additional protocol that works with the other 2. He also acknowledged that we need the controlled studies.
Can’t remember which Fox program he was one.

This is a very old drug that recently got approval “licensure” for...
1. Lupus Erythematosus -— PLAQUENIL is indicated for the treatment of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus in adults.
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis PLAQUENIL is indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic rheumatoid arthritis in adults.
The labelling does not include numbers of patients evaluated in the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy evaluation for the submission, that I can find. But these data reside with the applicant and/or those doing the marketing for these indications (Mylan and Sanofi, maybe more).

I hear you and mostly agree, but quinine does have a lot of side effects, and not everybody will be a good candidate for it. In other words, if you treated everyone with quinine, some would most certainly die as a result of the treatment. And with politicized medicine, a single death is sufficient to shut down (cancel) all further exploration.
