Ah, it’s a bunch of articles about the use of chloroquine at the beginning of the Covid outbreak before they figured out it didn’t work — not about use of CQ and HCQ for malaria prophylaxis.
From the second link given for Cameroon (VOA): “Cameroon has required the wearing of face masks by all of its citizens and begun large scale production of Chloroquine to treat COVID-19. The country says its hospitals are already overwhelmed, with more than 850 confirmed cases within 6 weeks, yet it expects confirmed COVID cases to rise into the several thousands.”
So, if all those Cameroonians were supposedly not getting sick from Covid because they were all supposedly taking HCQ for malaria prophylaxis — why were the hospitals overflowing with Covid patients? And why the scramble for HCQ if everyone was already taking it? Hmm?
Skipping down the alphabet, we come to Uganda. The link given there shows CQ/HCQ is not only not effective in the treatment of Covid, but produces worse outcomes:
“Uganda has used the two drugs in combination with azithromycin to manage its COVID-19 patients at Entebbe General Hospital. So far, 53 patients have been treated at Entebbe and they have fully recovered. In addition to hydroxychloroquine, the patients have been given Vitamin C.
But a multinational registry assessment study conducted by scientists in 671 hospitals across six continents between December 20, 2019, and April 21, 2020, found that the two drugs that have been widely used in the treatment of COVID-19 instead lowered the chances of survival for those who used them.”
No wonder Uganda stopped using it:

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko disagrees with you and your tripe.
BUt then if you happen to know him and his accomplishments, then you will know that he died a Saint, an Orthodox Hassidic doctor.
So all this blather you wank on about? Its just repeated propaganda from a supercilious medical culture.
This is it yet another rehash of an AP article posted over and over here last year with a clickbait headline about scientists being “mystified”. If you read that article, and the rehash ones, it becomes clear the scientists are not battled or mystified, but merely interested and curious. They have a number of plausible theories (such as younger population, lower rates of obesity and diabetes, etc.). Because no proper studies had been undertaken, there was no proof of course, just educated guesses and theories.
The photograph accompanying the original article also provides a clue: it show people shopping at a small open pair market. Unlike in developed countries where we shop in closed buildings. There is likely a constellation of reasons for the lower Covid death toll in sub-Saharan Africa. They also don’t do nursing homes.
Natural immunity.
(My Comment) : No Comment,.. just read the article !
There is simply no proof HCQ works. Dr. Zelenko may have been a saintly man. That hardly makes him correct about HCQ.
He may have been onto something when it comes to HCQ+zinc. If HCQ is an ionosphore of zinc, and zinc does have proven antiviral properties, then it’s quite possible it’s helpful in treating Covid. As far as I know there have been no proper studies of HCQ+zinc. But if quercetin is also an ionosphore of zinc, then why not use quercetin+zinc instead? Quercetin has superior anti-inflammatory properties (and no side effects), so it seems to me it would be a better choice.
Anyway, everyone in sub-Saharan Africa was *not* taking HCQ or CQ as malaria prophylaxis, and most certainly were not taking it with zinc for that purpose.
HCQ does have some antiviral properties and looked promising in vitro, but sadly turned out not to be effective in vivo, (at least without zinc). That’s the case with many drugs. I had high hopes for it at first. Once MABs became available and worked like a charm if received early enough, I lost interest in it.
President Trump did not take ivermectin or HCQ when he got Covid:
I remember him saying how the MABs made him feel so much better almost immediately and how it was almost like a miracle.
You say I’m “blathering” and posting “tripe”? After your post #84? ROFL!!! I’m a lady and do not “wank”. Also, as a Southern lady, I don’t allow such language in my presence in real life and it used to banned on FR. Perhaps you can calm down and switch to more civilized discourse.
Actually, no. See:

One exception: South Africa looks like the EU & USA.
And why do you? Cause you read articles somewhere from the DNC?
Yes, South Africa is something of an outlier compared to the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. It has higher obesity and diabetes rates, older population, more Covid testing and better record-keeping than the rest of sub-Saharan Africa.
My wife has taken hydroxychloroquine daily for most of her life. She almost died of COVID. The whole family began taking Ivermectin when my younger son brought COVID into the household. Both my wife and that son were hospitalized with Covid.
My other son and I also got COVID but were asymptomatic.
We are all purebloods.
Perhaps I have lived in funky little corners of the world where malaria is endemic, had it myself, and studied it for years.
Your expertise is reading dodgy grifter sites like The Expose and Steve Kirsch?
I’ve read the same WHO, CDC, and FDA docudrama crap you have access to and all the other stuff that says where malaria is and what treatments are being used and are not...why you have drawn different conclusions from most others...only you would know!
Southern LAdy?
You indeed do post tripe about IVM and HCQ. Early treatment outpatient protocols using guidelines, FLCCC, if they had been used by just one state Department of Health would have saved thousands upon thousands of lives.
BUt I digress.
THe fact is anyone who posts tripe like you do about IVM or HCQis too busy trying to be a Home Coming Queen.
That makes you an all out wanker,SOuthern Bell or not.
buAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
HCQ is not enough, I will Zinc about that with Azithromycin.
Says you and a bunch of grifters. No proof. People have died of Covid after taking the ivermectin protocol. The FLCCC doctors are proven grifters. Gotta hand it to them, they’ve made big bucks off it.
You resort to silly insults made up in your head because you have nothing better. No proof. No facts. No reasoned debate. No properly done studies. Just bombast fueled by emotion.
You seem anxious to shut down facts and reason. I wonder why that is.
Take a chill pill. Calm down.
You provide no links or proof. You also grossly mischaracterized what I have posted?
Why fib? Why not provide links? Where is your argument?
I don’t doubt this for a second.
The original proof of this effect, was the discrepancy between the infection rates in distinct parts of Israel in 2021.
In Jewish parts of Israel, which were the highest per capita vaccinated place on Earth, Covid was soaring, with also the highest infection rate per capita in the world.
Meanwhile, in some cases literally just hundreds of feet away, but separated by a territorial wall in the non-vaxxed Palestinian areas, Covid was basically non-existent.
There were even graphs circulating at the time, superimposing the infection and vaccination rates on top of one another. In the vaxxed areas of Israel, vaccinations and infections both perfectly overlapped, and formed a steep ramp up.
But in the non-vaxxed areas, again all within the same nation-state, the superimposed infection rate stayed at near zero.
