I don't understand this. HCQ is taken for malaria prophylaxis as recommended by the CDC. Are we saying that the CDC is recommending a drug that could potentially kill people? And they recommend it for use in all trimesters of pregnancy?<p>HCQ clearly did nothing for COVID, but I feel like we're maligning an otherwise quite useful medication. But to the original point, if 17K people did die of it, we should pull it IMMEDIATELY.<p><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/travelers/drugs.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/travelers/drugs.html</a>
the problem is we have as much papers saying it's useful, than papers explaining it does not work, and even got people killed because it has the known side-effect of affecting the heart. not being a medic myself, how are we supposed to know the truth ?
