Could be, your last paragraph makes a lot of sense. I just figure if the HCQ was working, Oklahoma would know that by now.

Maybe it works, but not super duper well. From what I'm reading it sounds like vitamin D and zinc might be more effective as a preventative. But you can also take both. My mom was taking HCQ for an unrelated thing and still got corona. But she did have a very light case of it compared to when my dad got it months later. (and they didn't spread it to each other despite living together, which I heard from a doctor friend of mine was surprisingly common)

But yeah it's clear there's a lot of emphasis on money-making vaccines but not a lot of emphasis on cheap and available cures (I've also heard ivermectin mentioned as a cure, which is apparently some sort of horse medication that's widely available for purchase and works on covid)

The media has been downplaying these cheap cures and up-playing the drama of covid and the importance of the vaccines (which are really mRNA gene therapy more than they are a traditional vaccine)

Lots of funny business, tbh
