I know someone who was given hydroxchloroquine together with other antibiotics. They were hospitalized for a week, but have made it home.

It may not be as effective for everyone, but it isn't snake oil either.

85% of covid-19 cases resolve without any more than moderate symptoms.

These types of stupid anecdotes are what is driving this nonsense.

There is no - NO - evidence that hydroxychloroquine in combination with AZT or anything else has any effect whatsoever.

In fact, in the largest published results so far - from the charlatan in France responsible for this shit - there is NO therapeutic effect shown whatsoever.

If I had to listen to that stupid bastard whine and complain I would probably give him a placebo and tell him it was real.

I remember reading that they combined hydroxychloroquine with a certain dosage of zinc, (having to do with the absorption of zinc ions in the cells) in South Korea.

I may have to look that up again to see if that has continued to work, not that I could buy anything at all at this point.
