I took it for three weeks when I went down to Equatorial Guinea for work as a malaria preventative. Zero side effects.

Which is probably what you should be more focused on.

This is a disease that for 90% plus of people the symptoms are mild to non-existent and resolve with little to no intervention in a short period of time. The chances are very high that the person you know's symptoms would have resolved in the same time period without the HCQ, AZ, and Zn.


This is true, of course. However, the only two families that I know that have had COVID were both prescribed the cocktail. All of them recovered in a couple of days with only mild symptoms. None of the parents were pictures of health (over weight). I can’t think of any reason why someone wouldn’t take this after immediately discovering you had it.

There’s the problem. You equate the evolving standards of care of medical science as pro or anti Trump.

That’s insane, but unfortunately very common these days.

This is why no one should take advice from people on this board.

Go to your doctor and let him/her determine whether you should take it.

I mean, you can do anything you want an if you feel like you know best then god bless you, but I am just saying.. It would be better to let your doctor determine.

She has a PhD in Infectious Disease Pharmacology. UMMC brought her in on a special contract to consult with their covid drug protocol program. She's also helping out with their STD work around some new treatments they're using for syphilis and drug resistant gonorrhea.

She's smarter, better educated, and more informed on this subject than you are.

And her tits are real, and they're amazing. And I have primary knowledge of this fact.

You simply don't know what you're talking about.

She is a bad expert. I know someone who had COVID. After 3 days they got the HCQ, AZ, and Zinc. Started felling better the next day. Take all 3 and it works. MAybe it is not very effective if you only take one of the three. This expert needs to do more research.
this is the type of anecdotal shite that makes me wanna pull my hair out

We need a hydroxychloroquine forum .
Anyone interested I would urge them to go to Political Talk board posting on Page 6 now-Doctors Pen Open Letter To Fauci Regarding The Use Of Hydroxychloroquine For Treating Covid-19.
I personally feel that hydroxychloroquine has a place in the treatment of Covi19.I don’t feel that it is a miracle drug but based on observational studies and anecdotal evidence it has a place-I would certainly take it if I come down with Covid.I figure it might help and likely to not cause harm.Many Drs.feel the same way.
I don’t think hydroxychloroquine will ever get a fair trial because 1-Trump,2-it’s cheap.
Gilead is financing studies all over the U.S. including University of Mississippi.The way it works is if a study shows favorable results for Remdesivir that university will likely get further grants in the future to investigate other drugs.
Anyone who confuses PhD (and MD) degrees with ethical behavior and considers them to be paragons of virtue is very naive.Many highly educated PhD scientists will “find” results desired by whoever is paying for the study.
My favorite example is the CocaCola financed study done by LSU’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center that determined that sugar intake had nothing to do with obesity,rather it was a lack of exercise.
Likewise MD’s,,there are lots of fine Drs.that try to the best for their patients,there are those that do what’s best for their bank accounts.I’ve seen it many times.
Back to hydroxychloroquine,what mostly chaps my arse is all the claims of how dangerous it is.My liberal p o s never-Trumper bro.in law was pontificating about the dangers of hydroxychloroquine because CNN said it was,he would never take it.Later on in the conversation it turns out he is taking Plaquenil and has been doing so for several years.
He didn’t know it was the same drug,he gets regular cardiac checkups and eye exams
because of potential retinopathy side effect.He’s never had any side effects.He was embarrassed to a degree.He changed the subject to Trump is a rascist,Trump mismanaged Covid 19,Trump had nothing to do with improving economy,etc,etc.
Ficker has ripped his britches with me,he can’t drive so he was relying on me to run errands,pick up his meds etc.Now when he needs me I am too busy or otherwise occupied.

I get the thought process.

The problem is when the efficacy of a drug hasn't been shown then widespread use is almost never the right thing to do. If the infection had a mortality rate of 40% or even 10% you could make a better argument for bypassing good scientific testing.

I also understand how it being a "safe" drug weighs into your conclusion. While HCQ is not nearly the "dangerous" drug some have made it out to be it does have a list of contraindications that is fairly long often mirroring conditions which are comorbidities for COVID19.

So why wouldn't someone take HCQ

1. it is unproven period
2. even if the patient is properly screened for all the physical and pharmacological contraindications the drug has a long half-life (40-50 days). If the patients symptoms progress the HCQ in the system could be a contraindication for other pharmacological intervention as well as exacerbate symptoms that COVID19 causes


The frustration for many doctors is the way HCQ has become a political football. Compare this with other drugs that saw some initial promise. Back in April doctors begin to see the benefits of Dex (which is also inexpensive) and there started to be a group that was seeing a similarity between COVID19 and HAPE (high altitude pulmonary edema) and so Ace begin to be considered. Dex and Ace (both steroids) have long been the gold standard for chemical intervention for HAPE, I never claimed in the high mountains without both. While Dex proved effective Ace quickly proved not to be effective and "we" simply moved on since Ace (acetazolamide) since there was no political issue surrounding it.

Don't know about the 'rona but I injected some into my dick hole on a bet one time and had a 36 hour boner.

Wait... I mean a guy I know did that one time.
