So again I ask, why are you on a crusade against a medication that has been approved and used successfully to fight other diseases for a long, long time? Could your motivations be... perhaps... political?
No one on the left is on a crusade against hcq in general. It clearly is useful in treating malaria, lupus, and several other conditions.

It just has not been shown to be effective against covid in multiple scientific studies, which are how causation in cures are determined.

For some reason, people on the right just can't seem to accept those results, could their motivations be...perhaps...because DJT disagrees?

Good for him. I wish him the best.
If he's asymptomatic, how would he know if HCQ helps?

Perhaps an unqualified loud mouth pushing a drug that can be hazardous to one's health, all based only on dubious science and wishful thinking? Real scientists are cautioning against the use of the drug, including Trump's own FDA. Maybe we choose not to take medical advice from someone who boasts about how uninformed he is?

Because other people have been helped by it.

As far as his situation, he has not even started taking it yet and will start tomorrow or the next day. Stay tuned.

Yeah, I mean, even the SUPPOSED source of efficacy of hcq was limited to situations where the infection caused intense cytokine storms requiring admission to a hospital.

The lizard people are the best. That's why they run the country.

You misunderstand. If he's an asymptomatic case - how will we know if HCQ helps him?

He obviously doesn't, he's just making a political statement in support of Trump with this.
