I do wish people on here weren’t so emotionally invested in the efficacy of chloroquine.
RE: I do wish people on here weren’t so emotionally invested in the efficacy of chloroquine.
Yes, just as I wish people would not be so emotionally invested in the INEFFICACY of choldorquine.
And I wish that more folks would recognize that the “anecdotal” evidence of certain windows of efficacy have piled up enough evidence to make it worthwhile as other treatments are developed and tested....there’s more medical evidence about it being useful than anything else under test at this time...unless all them doctors/nurses and other on front lines are just telling tales...as they dose themselves and their staffs with it as a potential palliative.
