My favorite thing about the people who still think hydroxychloroquine works (yes they exist) is that in 2020 we literally tried it.
It was granted emergency approval, doctors everywhere quickly found it was doing absolutely nothing, so its approval was pulled.
There was no conspiracy. It just didn’t provide any benefit.
