There’s that, and there’s when in the cycle. The early information *suggested* that it was most helpful in slowing the peak in virus - and less useful once a peak was already reached. As an emergency use, those authorized would most likely be after the virus became prevalent enough that the effect of HCQ would be minimal.

That said, this is why you run trials. You’d think if the effect was truly dramatic that you’d not be seeing the late-cycle surges in deaths to such an extent.

Still more testing to go.

It looks like Chinese disinformation. The article did not mention HCQ being administered with complementary drugs like zinc. HCQ alone does not seem to do much.

Why would they just use HCQ alone when it is already known that it is much less effective?
