I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis 36 years ago. For maybe 20 of those years I took 200mg Plaquenil (HCQ)every day, got a quarterly urine/blood test and an annual ophthalmic (retinal) exam, and, like virtually all long-term Plaquenil users, never had a problem.

In Italy, the Italian Society of Rheumatology (SIR) found that only 20 out of 65,000 chronic Lupus or RA patients on daily HCQ ever got COVID-19 (LINK).

And although prolonged use of HCQ is implicated in (some) potentially serious heart arrhythmias, that possibility is so remote that even people who take it for decades (RA and Lupus patients) are not required to get heart screenings. I never did.

And even more important to understand: treatment of COVID-19 in its earliest stages, or even prophylactically, e.g. for medical workers--- involves smaller dosage, for far less duration, than the treatment of RA. Typically 200 mg HCQ for six days, plus zinc and, if indicated, A-pack.

Bottom line: IT'S HERE. It's safe. It's effective. It's cheap (mine is 38 cents per pill). Why aren't they using it? Why isn't EVERYBODY using it?

Of all the very many strange decisions, that is the most bizarre of all.....the only answer I can think of is Gates has bought everyone involved...he has sure bought everyone needed in the UK.
