Everyone talking about chloroquine being a potential cure needs to temper it. Seriously.
It isn’t helping those that truly need it for approved uses. And it’s only making dumbsacks dumber by self medicating.
Has there been evidence of chloroquine working in the clinical setting to help patients recover? Yes, but so has not prescribing it. Even praying has helped anecdotally.
Until there is a complete formal study using randomized participants, we can’t say for sure whether it is a treatment. And as mentioned many times, all the observations of chloroquine use has been done in inpatients who are constantly monitored. You don’t just take this medicine at home for COVID-19.
And just because you hear of a doctor here and there hoarding it doesn’t mean they’re the brightest bulb. Not all doctors are beautiful and wonderful people. Rand Paul is a doctor and he still went about his activities before receiving positive COVID-19 test results.
