No, it's been replaced by Ivermectin (spelling?) which I have no idea why that became a thing. The HCQ was still shot down without trial when doctors were claiming it worked, and had a hypothesis as to why it might.
- nradov 5y agoThere was an early study back in April 2020 (right after the lockdowns started) which showed that ivermectin could inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro. Some irresponsible people (including a few physicians) took that and ran with it even though there was never any high quality evidence for it as a clinical treatment. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.antiviral.2020.104787 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.antiviral.2020.104787 It will be interesting to see the results from the ACTIV-6 clinical study. Hopefully that will finally settle the issue one way or another. https://activ6study.org/ https://activ6study.org/
