Literally everyone in India takes anti-malaria meds.

I don't think its just that though I'm sure its a factor. Reports of over representation of covid19 by several sources in the states, already. I think the deaths in the US are wildly off.

Definitely, the system was rigged to bleed more money from taxpayers and to blow up the number of deaths reported as coronavirus for political optics. "Muh USA has more CV deaths than any other country!" "Impeach!"

Trump really needs to have all of these hospitals audited to get America the truth.

Trying to justify all the needless resources and taxpayer $$$ that have been wasted on this so-called emergency?

Why not? Our entire national debt is because of democratic programs started to get and keep power.

Numerous scientific journals have already cited anti-malarial drugs such as hydroxychloroquine are less effective (that is, more prone to resistance) in communities where they have been over-used.

Not trying to counter-point you in a rude way, it's just that your argument, according to science, should be showing more cases, not less if these drugs have been used as freely as drugs like aspirin.

I politely disagree. 'Less effective' does not mean 'makes it worse'.

Exactly. Less effective is still more effective than not taking it at all

To which I agree with you, which is why my comment isn't about its effectiveness or not against COVID19, but it being used regularly pre-pandemic as the commenter suggested, which simply can't be as HQ became parasite resistance in the 1950's and was replaced by SP's in the 80's.

I don't think it's HQ stemming spread of deaths in India, but I am just one dude with an opinion.

Everything I hear about regions using it like candy for malaria and not having many cases is anecdotal, in that I've seen nothing I'd link you to as proof of anything. I'm probably going to stick with your opinion, with regard to what's distributed.

You got the links/evidence?

Haven’t seen those yet, but just by case frequency that seems unusual.
