As I've said before, there is nothing new or secret about hydroxychloroquine.

My wife has been on it for years, there are real and potential side effects that she is checked for frequently.

The idea of it possibly helping was the result of it reducing the immune response, which is the potentially fatal side effect of C19.

After testing, other drugs proved to be far more effective, so they were
Used instead.
