...new evidence that hydroxychloroquine does not appear to help the immune system clear the coronavirus from the body.

HCQ is *not* intended as a virus killer. The purpose is to reduce the ability of the Corona virus to replicate in the patient.

Yes! You are right, it’s not a vaccine!

there are no “virus killers”: all antivirals inhibit replication so the body can kill existing viruses without being overwhelmed with insurmountable new numbers ... that’s why ALL antivirals MUST be taken early in an infection to be effective ... think tamiflu during the first 24-48 hours of influenza symptoms or famciclovir during the first 24-48 hours of a shingles infection ..
