We keep reading about the risks and need for more research per hydroxychloroquine.
This drug has been in use since 1955. Don't we already know the risks associated with this drug? Obviosuly, the answer is yes. re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxychloroquine
So, the questions becomes, is this drug an effective prophylactic/treatment against Covid-19. At this time, worldwide anecdotal evidence shows hydroxychloroquine as an effective prophylactic/treatment against Covid-19.
So, why is this drug marginalized and rejected by Fauci and others in the U.S. medical/research industrial complex? I believe the answer is a combination of money and politics (TDS). Hydroxychloroquine is off patent and costs pennies per dose. Remdesivir was patented in 2017 by Gilead; it will go off patent in 2037. re: https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/04/who-owns-remdesivir-how-much-can-they-make-and-how-much-does-it-cost/
At this time, Gilead is providing 1.5 million individual doses of remdesivir "for compassionate use." What they will charge after this supply is exhausted is anyone's guess. They have a monopoly on the drug.
Last week, I texted my physician asking him if he'd prescribe hydroxychloroquine, if a patient diagnosed with Covid-19 specifically asks for it. Still waiting for his reply. If he says no, I will be shopping for a Doc who would prescribe hydroxychloroquine if the patient requests it. Just being proactive.

I think the risk is DOSAGE dependent.
How large is the dosage Covid-19 patients are given compared to Lupus patients?
Covid-19 patients are given HCQ for at most, three weeks On average, it is 5 to 6 days.
Lupus patients use the drug for YEARS !
RE: What they will charge after this supply is exhausted is anyone’s guess. They have a monopoly on the drug.
A Chinese lab, which happens to be none other than the suspicious, Wuhan Institute of Virology , also has a shared patent agreement with Gilead. We never get away from China to make the things we need.

The link to the drug I and millions of others took in RVN.
