the first I had heard of HCQ was from a pharmacist in a college football thread. I posted it here. This guy linked to a paper from Stanford and UAB detailing how HCQ worked against Coronavirus in the past. I believe it mentioned a 2005 study that showed great results in primates.

people who seriously think this was just made up out of thin air rank up there with the wackos that thought Bill Clinton would amend the constitution to run for a third term.
