It's not a magic bullet, but if I catch covid, I'm requesting it.
The FDA EUA for hydroxychloroquine wasn’t revoked based upon a single study, but rather a consensus of all the studies.

In addition, the Infectious Disease Society of America recommends against its use except as part of a hospital based clinical due to dearth of evidence it works combined with its known cardiac adverse effects.

You can request hydroxychloroquine for Covid 19, but who in their right mind will prescribe it in the face of recommendations not to do so?
The FDA, CDC, NIH, IDSA, WHO, AMA, APA, ASHSP, ACP, AAP, etc all recommend against its use. So who does recommend its use?
And without a subscription to the WSJ I can’t find the study. Can you give me the title so I can find it?
