I was given the unapproved, experimental anti-malaria drug, mefloquine when I served in Somalia in 1993 in addition to a slew of some inoculation cocktails.

the stuff apparently caused a lot of neurological damage in soldiers deployed there (do your google searches for more info)

BUT
A) Myself and family did not get vaxxed against covid
B) I went to work everyday during the scamdemic
C) Not only did no one in my home get covid, but we never even went to get tested once during the entire scam.

so perhaps anti-malaria drugs do have some impact on whether or not you get “sick” from covid.

I’ll never forget how my doctor from one of the NYC-area hospitals that made a fortune in early 2020 off their Covid “victims” over age 80 slyly confided to me that at some point she and her colleagues realized that despite their significant exposure, none of them were contracting “Covid”.

Interesting. Looks like Mefloquine is a much newer drug than Hydroxychloroquine, which was approved in 1955 and has been on the WHO’s list of “essential drugs” for many years. (Not that I have any trust left for the WHO.) HCQ is cheap and effective, and has fewer side effects than the newer stuff. (I’ve been taking it, and IVM, prophylactically for over a year.)

Hey--Me too!

I've never had any anti-malaria drugs.

Yes, the our State Department was recommending Larium back in the early 1990s when I was leaving for SE Asia. I read up on it and decided against it. Took the doxy instead.

I ran into a nice American lady there who did take the Larium and was still having horrible side effects long after stopping it. She was secretarial staff and had terrible tremors in her hands from the neurological damage and was afraid she would lose her job. I felt so sorry for her. I'm glad you did not get those side effects, and so sorry for all our military who did.

Non-Compliant_Deplorable: Yes, its newer. As chloroquin-resistant malaria grew more and more prevalent, they had to come up with other drugs.

There are mefloquin-resistant strains in some areas now. Nothing seems to last forever.
