I'm going to introduce some people to the Cochrane Review.  It is a collection of research to inform decision making for evidence based medicine.  This is their section on Covid 19 . . .

Quote:FACT: Studies show hydroxychloroquine does not have clinical benefits in treating COVID-19 


Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, a treatment for malaria, lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis, has been under study as a possible treatment for COVID-19. Current data shows that this drug does not reduce deaths among hospitalised COVID-19 patients, nor help people with mild or moderate disease.

The use of hydoxychloroquine and chloroquine is accepted as generally safe for patients with malaria and autoimmune diseases, but its use where not indicated and without medical supervision can cause serious side effects and should be avoided.

They also have a Health Facts page you can use to look up information . . .
