It is based on my spending 17 days in the Hospital with Pneumonia and Covid 19, being given two doses of HCQ per day . At two days in Doctors said I was so sick, they didn't think I would make it but HCQ did the trick. So my thinking is based on FACT!!
I am sorry you went through that experience. Must have been horrid for you and your family. Glad you are out of it.
I am not questioning if HCQ helped your recovery or not.
But, objectively, you are one data point. I am sure there are others. I am sure there are others who took it and it did not help.
To approve drugs it does take a fair bit of study before they can "approve it". Clearly, you did not need the CDC's approval for you to take it. Glad you did.
BTW, I am not a fan of the CDC or the WHO or the Pharma industry at all. They are all morally corrupt and care about one thing and one thing alone - $$$$$$$$$$$$$.
The best we can all do it to focus on prevention. It would be stupid for us to relax on prevention under the unproven pretense that there is a cure.
