My wife has been taking it for a few years for Lupis and hasn't had any negative side effects, she hasn't caught the virus either.

I know a couple of other women who have Lupis and take it as well.

ALL drugs have side effects and impact people differently. You can't see an ad on TV for a drug that doesn't include a long section on the side effects.

Hydroxychloroquine is a drug that has been in existence and in use for years. I'm not saying it should be used for treating COVID, I'm just saying it's not considered a particularly harmful drug.

the issue I have is that our nutjob president is all out promoting this when there is little or no evidence that it does anything for COVID,
other than put money in his pockets and that of his rich lackey friends.

but my question was related to what we see in the MSM, that the drug can cause death if taken for Covid-19. So I have to wonder if anyone has tallied figures to prove this. Not "denying" it -- just curious about the whole picture.
