Didn't trump use it to cure his Covid-19,
I think that was one he used. Wasn't it originally for Malaria or some such? Not sure they ever showed whether it was useful or not against covid. Hadn't heard about it in awhile.
There are claims for a lot of doctors that Hydroxychloroquine worked excellent for Covid, and there are opposite claims by conventional medicine that say that research has not shown that it helps.
In this yes - no - yes - no situation everyone has stayed on its standpoint and there is no final verdict detectable.
Logic: from what Jim says: “ Hydroxychloroquine is a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD)”, and keeping in mind that disease-modify drugs often suppress parts of the immune-system, and keeping in mind that the danger of Covid is a cytokine storm, an overreaction of the immune system just like with psoriasis, it does on this logical level make sense that it could work against this cytokine storm.
