That’s how they originally discovered the drug’s benefits. It is used by people who have Lupus - a disease that weakens the immune system. They expected most Lupus patients would get the virus, instead none did. That’s how they figured out that this drug is effective. So it’s definitely a preventative.
Phase 1 is to use it only on hospitalized patients and staff. That ensures our limited quantities are put to their best use and supervised by a doctor 24/7 to look for things going wrong. They are seeing that things are going right. The drug doesn’t work well at all if it is not used until people are already on a respirator. It needs to be given sooner.
Phase 2 should be to give it to everyone who gets CV. I think we should be doing that today, but my best guess is it’s still a week away from doctors doing this. I think we have enough supply that it would not be a problem as long as people do not hoard.
Phase 3 should be to take it as a preventative - most or all of us could be doing this in the fall. Once a week I believe is enough. We don’t have enough stored away for that yet, but could in a few months. This to me is the final end game - it’s as close to a miracle cure as you can get.
The FDA needs to get out of the way and let tons of companies mass produce the stuff. Make it as common as Tylenol and get rid of these stupid lockdowns.
Glad you said that. I was going to try to find the link to that WSJ article that was just on here & said the Chinese noticed the 80 lupus patients in the hospital over there did not get it, as they were on hydroxychloroquine. I had saved it somewhere to give to a friend who takes it for rheumatoid arthritis. It is stated in the 5th paragraph. https://archive.is/timHx
Well, don’t forget that a vaccine should be ready by early next year. This is just a stop-gap to get us there. At a minimum, I think that the high-risk groups (60+, immunodeficient) should use H as a prophylactic.

Prayin' for this to roll out sooner rather than later. I fear they are delaying it to maximize damage.

There was research from 2005 snowing the drugs worked on SARS and earlier cov type viruses. Chloroquine Known as Effective Against Coronavirus Since 2005

I am not taking a vaccine and neither is anyone else I know.
