I stopped looking...but for awile, I was looking for any stats regarding COVID in Lupus and RA patients who were also taking Hydroxyclhoroquine...never found any.
If anyone knows, please point me ?

The USPS now destroys any packages coming from Indian pharmaceutical companies suspected of containing Ivermectin or HCL.

I looked through the abstracts but did not see any stating that pts treated with HCQ for RA/lupus had less covid or better outcomes. I did not, however, dig through the papers. Positive HCQ data could be suppressed, as we have seen peer-reviewed literature shenanigans. Also, these studies are not prospective.

One of my sisters has lupus and is taking hydroxychloroquine. In June of 2020, I told her she had natural protection from covid in light of her HCQ regimen. The vaccines came out in early 2021 and I reminded her she was lucky to have a built-in prophylactic in her lupus medicine. She hadn’t had covid up until March 2021 when she got jabbed on the advice of her doctor, and suffered 3 strokes in the following 4 months and had 2 brain surgeries. She could have been a lupus/HCQ stat for the world, but is now a jab stat. She’s lucky to even be alive. I would guess that the HCQ is still offering some protection against covid even if her immune system isn’t what it was. I don’t believe she took any boosters but I haven’t asked because I couldn’t bear an affirmative response.
