Most people who are asymptomatic or have only upper respiratory symptoms are never going progress to the lung involvement, which is the only thing that kills. Most of them would have gotten well without any treatment whatsoever.
Did the hydroxyquinolone (with or without azithromycin) speed up their clearance of the virus by a few days or even a bit more? Very likely. But this guy is going around claiming the study showed a "100% cure rate", and strongly implying that this is a cure rate for COVID-19, and that this is some huge breakthrough that may end the pandemic. It is not. It's interesting, may be somewhat helpful, and other researchers were already familiar with its effects.
