Hydroxychloroquine is simply a synthetic, patented (expired, I'm pretty sure) version of quinine, which has the same properties. You can get quinine in quite a few brands of tonic water. it's good stuff! Natural!

Quinine was "discovered" by westerners when Peruvian natives would use the Cinchona tree extracts to cure their malaria. It was found that the quinine in this plant was a very effective anti-malarial. It was then "reinvented" as patented hydroxycholoroquine and sold as a pharmaceutical.
