I think there haven’t been a lot of good studies done on it yet showing whether it’s effective. It’s really sad we’ve gotten this far along in this pandemic without some well constructed studies to give us some more definitive answers about its safety and efficacy. The earlier studies claiming it was harmful or ineffective against COVID-19 were all poorly constructed and thus had no useful data to provide.
I think if you’re a high risk individual who is diagnosed with COVID-19, taking HQL early on with Zinc and a Z-pack is probably a wise move, even with the mixed data we have right now. Worst case, it doesn’t do anything for you and you get worse. Then you move on to other treatments that are available. If it helps, then that’s wonderful. My goal is always to preserve human life, from conception to natural end.
But nobody should take that as medical advice. As always, anyone who is ill should consult with their doctor to determine the best course of treatment for their specific situation, taking into account their individual medical history and current medical conditions.
