Chloroquine is a remedy for fools!

And Louie Gohmert! You and Trump are fools! Go ahead and take chloroquine and one of two things are possible? One you’ll be a bigger fool and two, Trump will make money off your foolishness! You made your bed, so lay in it!

1. He's rolling the dice there. Chances are he won't get really sick and can claim it saved

him. If he does get really sick and survives, that won't look good to us, but trump cult worshippers will make believe it's still saved him. If he dies they will still just say it at least gave him a chance but it doesn't work all the time. But, we will never have seen any real proof he ever used it. Just like we know Trump never did.

3. Studies prove that roosters crowing causes the sun to rise

Every study showing hydroxychloride works has the same method as the rooster sun studies. But in a randomized study,where roosters are randomly permitted to crow or not, crowing haz zero impact on whether the sun rises or not. Studies like that prove the drug worthless.

Republicans swear roosters crowing causes the sun to rise.

6. I take it every day and it works for me

but then again I have lupus and a bunch of other sick shit.

If anyone wants to take it, they'll feel it in a month or 3 when the side effects move in. It does emotional damage long term, can damage eyes, makes bones...... it's nothing but shits and giggles as it weakens your overactive immune system so that it stops attacking your internal organs and joints.


The good news is I can get the name brand stuff because everyone knows the generic by name.

7. Hydrochloroquine (HCQ) is dangerous. My wife has taken it on an alternating

daily dose of 200 mg one day and 400 mg the next day, for about 5 years to reduce pain in her hands from osteoarthritis.

She took some OTC to relieve sinus drainage. Something went wrong -- probably interaction of histamine with another drug -- that caused high blood pressure. I think that HCQ and high blood pressure damaged the macular of one of her eyes. (She has permanent loss of vision beginning at the center and sweeping angle from 90 deg to 180 deg. The name of the damage is "dry macular degeneration". It is permanent and the angle will increase over the rest of her life.) Fortunately, I caught the high blood pressure before HQC damaged the entire eye and began to damage the other eye.

Although she is monitored by her personal care physician, optometrist. and ophthalmologist for HQC damage, the event was so fast that only I had an opportunity to detect it. Weeks after it happened, she was examined by her ophthalmologist, who gave us the diagnosis that it is dry macular degeneration. And the Qs began about use of HCQ.

I watch her daily for adverse reactions from HCQ, including blood pressure every morning and every other day doing Amsler chart eye test to detect damage to the macular.

So, my advice to anyone planning to use HCQ: you need the participation of a personal care physician, an ophthalmologist, and training in monitoring at home for adverse effects.

Eye damage is just one of the HCQ adverse effects. In the ER, she had a chemically induced heart attack while being examined for a blocked intestine. I did not get a definitive explanation from the ER physician. But, HCQ has been implicated in heart attacks.
