FACT: The media is filled with morons who know nothing about anything.
Recently they claimed that Trump is lying about the drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine being effective against the Chinese Virus. They claim there's "no merit" and it's "without proof" that he made these claims.
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are similiar drugs with hydroxychloroquine being newer and safer.
Here's what other countries are doing with these drugs:
It's recommended for use in Korea by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's been in regular use there for over a month. https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2020/03/12/South-Korea-experts-recommend-anti-HIV-anti-malaria-drugs-for-COVID-19/6961584012321/
UK Bans export of chloroquine phosphate and the combo drug of lopinavir + ritonavir. If it's not effective why are they banning the export of it in order to build up their own supply? https://ihsmarkit.com/research-analysis/uk-bans-parallel-export-of-two-covid19-treatment-candidates.html

MAGA and FUCK THE MEDIA
Thanks. We are always ahead of the curve arent we.
We know it works. We dont need peer review. Many are saddened that it works. Not a stretch to suggest those people would rather you die. Thin about that for a minute.
Right? Those fucks.
I just care to know what the side effects are and I bet it's something along the lines of drowsiness since drugs being manufactured back then were more about effectiveness as opposed to dependency.
whatever the side effects are, 5 days is not a period of time something serious can kick in
Absolutely. I do know that doctors in... umm.. Finland? were secretly self dosing with hydroxychloroquine. That suggests that it's not that bad. I have heard bad things about chloroquine though, but it's not needed to be taken long term for the chinese virus.
There's some serious side effects, but many people take it and similar drugs daily for autoimmune disorders like arthritis

I've read that effects on the eyes can be monitored and mitigated by eye doctors.
Side effects occur with daily use over a period of YEARS. We're talking 10 days here.
Most direct answer. Thank you.
Thank you. This is wonderful. <3
And by hydro- being newer it's 50 years old instead of 60

75% of those infected are virus free after 6 days. Whereas without this drug 90% of those infected still have it 20+ days later, and virtually everyone dead from this is still infected.
Good enough! Lemme have some, please. I need this before going back to work.
If it's good enough for South Korea, it's good enough for me
