No, Chloroquine was used as a cure for malaria, perhaps they have better cures now, the last time I had malaria was in 1980. Here is a report from the BBC , you can use Google translate if you can't speak Spanish. Just a remider the data is all from the government of Honduras an entity that has zero credibility, the report does say Hydroxychloroquine works.

By the way I have made some more investigations and I don't know if it is still used- I am sure it was used up to July 15, but look at the following data for Honduras, just look at the other countries and look at the recovery numbers, Honduras' numbers are much worse than the others.

I don't think it works, should somebody try it because they think it works? By all means, everyone should be free to try whatever they want just they shouldn't try to sell it as a panacea because it isn't one. As for it not causing such a huge impact in Africa, do you think this means I should be immune 40 years later? That would be awesome.

I know you might think I am biased but I think the only reason that it is or was being used is because this was a donation made by the governments of the USA and India. You have to keep that in mind, they will probably when and if this pandemic is over present fake invoices for this and say that it was bought. That is just how things work here.
