Derek's column does not ever post my responses (censorship ?) so here it is:
The side effects of chloroquine are modest for most, especially on a 10 days or less regimen.
Approx. 5% or higher risk of NOT taking it when ill from coronavirus it is you could end up in ICU on a ventilator, on the other hand, the risk of taking it and getting serious side effects is minimal, like at about 1.5% in the study below.
Google this title:
Reported Side Effects to Chloroquine, Chloroquine
plus Proguanil, and Mefloquine as Chemoprophylaxis
against Malaria in Danish Travelers
Summary: 85% of Danish travelers reported no side effects
minor side effects are:
Diarrhea, stomach pain (take only with a full meal),
dizziness
the depression / anxiety incident was ONE person - - we don't base science on what happen to ONE person.
severe side effects in only 1.5% of cases
Only LONG TERM USE for many months or years can have retina involvement.
So all those who want to bash the multiple recent published research results showing good results with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for COVID19 - - - maybe I'll read about you in morgue statistics somewhere soon. I have already got my 'script for chloroquine (cost me 70 cents total), I am ready and prepared - - - instead of being a naysayer with my head in the sand.
