Doctors and clinicians on front lines in NYC and greater NYC area say it's not helping at all, that they've by and large given up on using it. So I could reply that right now I choose to believe these MDs and ARNPs on front lines rather than commenters on HN. But that's not helpful compared to research. This one is a mess, and the tiny sampling of articles we have are not definitive. // Disclaimer: Lived in Africa for a decade, took anti-malarials. These and others can be nasty for a lot of people, some folks have to hunt to find things that aren't worse than the occasional bout of malaria. In fact, while my family took them, I never found anything tolerable. Curiously, the rest of the family got malaria, I did not.
