Hydroxychloroquine connects to iron in the red blood cells, preventing covid19 from stripping it to replicate itself.
So although hydroxychloroquine doesn’t kill covid 19, it prevents covid 19 from lowering the bloods oxygen carrying capacity as much.
Very interesting.

Many lazy journalist keep telling us that Hydroxychoroquine does not kill the virus.
But that is NOT what it is used for in the case of Covid-19.
The known immunomodulatory effect of hydroxychloroquine, which prevents the immune system from overreacting to a novel virus because it does not recognize it, acts in controlling the cytokine storm that occurs in infected patients.
This allows the immune system to attack the virus without doing harm to the body.
It is the patient’s own immune system that works to destroy the virus.
So, Hydroxychloroquine is NOT in any way, shape, or form an antiviral medication.
Also, Hydroxychloroquine is a ZINC ionophore. That is why ZINC is an important component in Dr. Zelenko’s treatment protocol.
It is literally a synthetic doorway (transporter) that allows extracellular zinc to pass into the cytoplasm, so the ZINC can destroy the virus.
THE ONLY SCIENCE HERE, IS THAT ZINC IS THE ANTIVIRAL.
Your cell membrane has naturally occurring membrane transporter proteins specifically for zinc, called zip proteins. A zinc ionophores function is to create additional passages into the cell for zinc.
This enables a cell to load up with zinc faster, than it normally would.

There is a theory in this Italian report that HCQ works on this virus the same way it works on Malaria by directly killing it.
I have RA and have some HCQ with me on my job at sea but for my family I ordered quercetin, resveratrol, vitamin D, multivitamins plus zinc, 50mg zinc pills to be used at first awareness of infection, vitamin C, 3mg melatonin for my mother-in-law whose over 70.
But HCQ is preference over quercetin since it is an antimalaria drug and according to the Italian who wrote the linked article this virus has some malaria like behavior.
