I don’t recall anyone calling HCQ a cure.
It has shown to help many who have taken it. To deny that is to deny what is right in front of your eyes.
Every medicine has side and adverse effects. And, no medicine has its intended therapeutic effect for its entire targeted audience.
RE: I don’t recall anyone calling HCQ a cure.
I don’t either. I do read about people HOPING that it would act as a prophylactic against Covid-19 infection.
Among some of their observations:
1) The infected Diamond Princess Cruise Ship had passengers who were taking HCQ as an anti-malarial drug. NONE of these passengers were infected.
2) Some hospitals noticed that Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis patients who are taking HCQ do not get infected with Covid-19
3) Doctors seem to be taking it as a prophylactic
4) India’s populace uses HCQ as an antimalarial and their country, with 4 times America’s population and more densely populated have orders of a magnitude less cases than the USA.
That’s it. All observations... limited at that.
Well, this Epoch Times article in this thread seems to somewhat disprove at least #2 above.
I would not take observation #4 above seriously since India is not a country that does testing as widely as we have done.
