It's a very nice paper. Last year we wrote a very short and to the point comment paper about Zelenko protocol in response to an editorial. Dr. Raoult's protocol was not the most aggressive protocol possible, but it did work bery well, and combined with HCQ prophylaxis it would have been pretty damned good. https://scholarworks.utrgv.edu/mss_fac/565/

O/T Before it's too late, public attention should also be drawn to Trump's questionable "picks" of Dr Gerald Parker as head of Pandemic Preparedness and Jim O'Neill as deputy to HHS, i.e. to RFK if he gets through. O'Neill seems to have quite opposite views to RFK on health. Both emerge from the "ill-begotten" Covid era, where they were proponents of OWS etc. Dr Parker is also a fan of "One Health". One might ask what on earth Trump had in mind when making these appointments......

Pre-vaccine I asked my doctor for a prescription of HCQ for prophylaxis. He was shocked and said, "No, that's very dangerous!" I explained, "No, Doctor, the Lancet article was a hoax. It has been retracted. Hydroxychloroquine has been used for decades safely and can be a repurposed prescription."

He was shocked and said he would look into it. He never mentioned vaccines or anything related to covid to me again.

It shows how much doctors are controlled by public health narratives. Your story is almost scary.

Hydroxychloroquine is usually the first drug prescribed for autoimmune diseases. People have been on it for years and some for decades without issue.
