I took hydroxychloroquine for two years. A long time ago as a visiting cancer surgeon in Asia, in Thailand, Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. From 1987 to 1990. Malaria is rife there. I took it for prophylaxis, 400 milligrams once a week for two years. Never had any trouble. It was inexpensive and effective. I started it two weeks before and was supposed to continue it through my stay and four weeks after returning. But I stopped it after two years. I was worried about potential side effects of which there are many, as with all drugs right down to Tylenol and aspirin. These, however, are rare. At a certain point, I was prepared to take my chances with mosquitoes and plasmodium, and so I stopped.
Chloroquine, the precursor of HCQ, was invented by Bayer in 1934. Hydroxychloroquine was developed during World War II as a safer, synthetic alternative and approved for medical use in the U.S. in 1955. The World Health Organization considers it an essential medicine, among the safest and most effective medicines, a staple of any healthcare system. In 2017, US doctors prescribed it 5 million times, the 128th most commonly prescribed drug in the country. There have been hundreds of millions of prescriptions worldwide since its inception. It is one of the cheapest and best drugs in the world and has saved millions of lives. Doctors also prescribe it for Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis patients who may consume it for their lifetimes with few or no ill effects.
Then something happened to this wonder drug. From savior of the multitudes, redeemer and benefactor of hundreds of millions, it transformed into something else: a purveyor of doom, despair, and unspeakable carnage. It began when President Trump discussed it as a possible treatment for COVID-19 on March 19, 2020.

I have a Gin and Tonic every night around 5PM and since I started that regimen, I haven’t had malaria once.
My whole family took HCQ while we lived in Sierra Leone for three years. No problems and no malaria.
I have seen US citizens who “forgot” their HCQ and what they looked and felt like while suffering malaria. That is one point on which I disagree with the good doctor, he did not want to take his chances with malaria.
There are many medicinal herbs in gin, I've read.
Same here.
Taken Chloroquine to deal with malaria hundreds of times both as a prophylactic and to cure malaria after I got it.
Only difference is, he took his in Asia and I took mine in Africa. Ant I took it over a longer period of time.
Never had any problem with it.
I am old now and sill healthy.
I don't see what the fuss is about.
If you add a lime, it also helps to prevent rickets!
Probably not, but it’s best to error on the side of prevention. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
No wonder gin tastes medicinal.
I was in Prague once, and the local medicinal liquor (liquer?) was Becherovka. Very medicinal, with lots of herbal bitters. I was told it was an acquired taste.
I thought it was scurvy.
The attack on HCQ is because of two things:
1. The population control Nazis like Gates, Fauci, the CDC, WHO, etc. don’t want there to be a cure or prophylactic for the virus.
2. Follow the money. The vaccine(s) that get approved will no doubt be expensive and the drug companies will get fat and happy on government and insurance company money.
*I won’t take whatever vaccine comes out and recommend you don’t either. This virus has already mutated 5 times and no vaccine will be able to protect anyone from 5 mutations. The whole damn thing is a con, IMO.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
Do any of these come in gummies? I love gummies
A bottle of hydroxychloroquine was on every table in the mess hall when I was in Korea in the 70s. We were required to take, IIRC, it was one pill per week. We were not under a doctor’s supervision. I know of no one who suffered any adverse reactions.
That, too!
It’s the quinine that helps prevent malaria.
I know.
When we had a trustee meeting at the college where I worked one guy who moved from California said he could always tell a native Oregonian , because I carried an umbrella and never opened it. I said I carried it to keep tigers away and it worked every time.
‘Hydroxychloroquin, me and the great divide...’
uh, that would be ‘I’, not ‘me’...I’ll never understand how people can’t get that right...
I’ve been on hydroxychloroquine for a couple of years for my autoimmune disorder.. no problems. I used to joke about not getting malaria here in Los Angeles. It’s very cheap (with my insurance, $10 for 3 month supply) and very effective if used for Covid-19 early in the disease before your immune system starts attacking YOU and not the virus. Once your immune system goes bonkers and you are in the hospital, it’s too late.
