Does this work specifically for COVID 19 or could other strains and other viruses be treated with this too?



Like with covid in test tubes it has worked against many viruses. That’s why it’s not random that it was tried at the start of this. I still have yet to see a well done prospective study on covid and hcq. When it was tried outside of test tubes in other viruses it didn’t work.

This is why is works well as a preventative. The VA study gave it to people on their death bed. What medicine works when people are on the brink of death? Give people HCQ early and it does its job.

Like to a randomized blinded study? Anecdotal retrospective studies is the lowest level of evidence. Better than nothing but very difficult to make a definitive scientific statement on. The best you can say is it may be helping and looks to be. Can’t be certain though

Would I want the drug? Sure. Does that mean it’s proven? No.


The drug has been extremely politicized on both sides.
