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?

This is not the thread to discuss it without derailing it, but numerous front line physicians who are actually treating patients are swearing by it. Good enough for me. Right to Try. It's not that hard to fine online, many stories on it.... this is just a couple.
