Great news, got a link from a reputable source to back up your “fact”?

Here’s the National Prescribing Service strongly advising against using HCQ.
Here’s the results of a scientific study showing HCQ has no useful effect on the virus.
Here’s a study showing patients treated with HCQ didn’t have better outcomes.

I couldn’t find any reputable study showing data regarding your claim above. Although some studies may have shown hope 4/5 months ago it seems all decent medical authorities including Australia are now advising against its use. I know a lot of people are desperate to find a miracle cure (the best we have at the moment is the somewhat effective and medically approved Remdesivir) but that doesn’t mean latching on to snake oil pushed by quacks makes it work.
