After reading it, HCQ pretty much just kills people at a higher rate if used to treat. However, it might very well have some efficacy post-exposure in preventing infection.

In general this stuff is so toxic that even if it did help in some minor way, it is most likely over-powered by the side effects. (If I read the study correctly.)

RFK is a kook.

If anyone can find a legitimate study that was done in 2021 that talks about hte efficacy of this stuff, I'd love to read it. Double blind though at minimum.
RFK Jr. has a disease that makes his voice quiver so some people think there is something wrong with him mentally. He's definitely anti-vaxx. But HCQ has been taken in weekly doses by millions of Africans for years to ward off malaria. It's a safe drug as long as you take it in proper dosage. Before the pandemic there were about 5 million prescriptions a year in the U.S. It's the first line treatment for Lupus. It's also used to treat some types of arthritis. It has been proved successful for those diseases. But for some reason, with covid, all of a sudden HCQ has been found to have harmful effects. I don't buy it.

Follow the money....or lack thereof. I think the main problem with HCQ is it's been around for 70 years and costs only about 30 cents a pill. How the hell can big pharma make billions of dollars off the pandemic with a 30 cent pill? Best to squash HCQ with phony studies and come up with something they can charge the shit out of people for.
