I'd not start dropping HCQ like candy. Beyond the retracted COVID study, it is established that there are risks associated with HCQ usage. use can lead to cardiomyopathy, prolong QT interval and trigger arrhythmia.

- nerdponx 6y agoThere's quite a spectrum between "HCQ is dangerous and ineffective for Covid-19" and "drink fish tank cleaner".
- vibrio 6y agoI agree with you that "dangerous" isn't binary. To be clear, the medical literature I was referencing are focused on medical grade HCQ. I apologize that I was glib in my "like candy" comment. I'm reacting strongly to this topic because the current level of pop-culture medical expertise, partiuclary around HCQ and also vaccines, is concerning to me.
