But I don't think that is sufficient to dismiss them as ineffective out of hand for all stages of infection, as some Pfauci Pfellators ("Stop it. You are not a horse") seem to do. (Because SCIENCE!™ no doubt.)
My prior response was based on post #563 from you to bagster; but I since scrolled further and saw post #539 which indicated different time frames: but not specific enough on individual circumstances e.g. severity of symptoms, comorbidities, timing & frequency of dose, simultaneous dosing with Zinc, blood vitamin D levels, etc.
So, as many of the $hot $hill$ would put it, “anecdotal” e’en though clinical. /dry, wry>
As I said at the height of covid we were being asked by everyone to treat. I treated a lot early on with hcq and IVM one mold success with IVM. The rest had no effect. Lots of Progression. Once I had monoclonals I could no longer reasonably use something I knew was inferior when I had a highly effective treatment. So I did use HCQ and IVM. Poor results.
