Costa Rica went from a few handfuls of the virus progressing into the danger level, From mid March-June with no mask mandates. While using Hydroxychloroquine in the hospitals to help decrease the virus from advancing to the severe stages.
Costa Rica stopped using Hydroxychloroquine for no known reason. When looking at the data the numbers for severe cases increased 20-50x.

Can/Is helpful if given to patients in the early stages of Covid. Before the infection becomes severe. Helps in preventing the virus from progressing into a full on attack.
Already developed 60 years ago for 3rd world countrys, cheap, no prescription required, over the counter, no unusual side effects had been reported before Covid. WTF
The elite took a very helpful drug away. It is not a vaccine or a cure. But the drug helps a person not die and increases their chance at survival. Higher survival rate. I don't know how else to put it.
