Thank you Lord! these anti malarial drugs are CHEAP and easy to produce. We can make ALOT of it QUICK.
Used for DECADES, so even if you dust off a 30 year old medical book, even noob doctors will know about choroquine, quinine, and hydropchloroquinine.

Seventy year old medical books even.
The military was using it by the end of the forties.

We were still using it when I was in.

It can have pretty potent side effects and a lot of people got a fever or chills from it.

we were just discussing the study made about it in this thread:

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3826100/posts

The link to the paper written is here:

https://t.co/DzFTv13wYn

Although there is GOOD NEWS on its effectiveness, Here’s one thing that should bring us caution (from the paper):

“Six hydroxychloroquine-treated patients were lost in follow-up during the survey because of early cessation of treatment.”

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

WHY did they cease the treatment? That’s the question.

SIDE EFFECTS? Cure worse than the disease?

They need to explain the reason.

Best to READ the paper that they wrote.

Yup. A 12oz bottle of Tonic water contains 82mg quinine.

My dad contracted malaria while in Vietnam. Not sure what they treated him with, but he described several nights of bone racking chills with horrible sweating before the symptoms eased off. Sickest he’s ever been he said

FDA chief Hahn talked about it in President’s presser today.

It sounds like the FDA is more worried about the tablet dosages than saving lives and preventing infections.

All healthcare workers in contact with CoVid19 patients should be taking it prophylacticlally. Anyone who gets a confirmed positive test should also take it.

Combinie these actions with aggressive testing and isolation and we could knock the pandemic down quickly ( like the Chinese did).

The president said nice things about the FDA but I think they are now part of the problem.

I think high dosages will give you the poopin' miseries. Not so with smaller dose.

I took hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) for years for my rheumatoid arthritis: one 200 mg tablet twice a day, every day, with food. Never had the slightest uncomfortable side effect.

Don't know what the dosage would be for CV19 though.
