Hydroxychloroquine is a drug on the WHO's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system. In 2017, it was the 128th most commonly prescribed medication in the US with more than five million prescriptions.
COVID-19
Hydroxychloroquine has been widely used worldwide to treat COVID-19.[1] The Lancet published a paper suggesting it had heavy side effects, then withdrew it after it was discovered to have been published by a sell company. The RECOVERY study in the UK also suggested it was dangerous, but involved very high doses that exceeded its dose for other illnesses.[2]
Legal status
In a 23 March 2020 executive order, the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, barred pharmacists from filling prescriptions for chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine as part of clinical trials for COVID-19.
In early April 2020 Anthony Fauci opposed the use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine as a treatment for severe cases of COVID-19, instead recommending remdesivir.[3]
In June 2020 the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons filed a lawsuit against Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA for their “irrational interference” to hydroxychloroquine for treatment of patients. [1]

Besides the early interest and research into hydroxychloroquine, we can find no other significant efforts to research the use of any other already existing, safe, low-cost therapeutic agents. Seemingly the only research and treatment focus that we have observed on a national scale is with novel or high-cost pharmaceutically engineered products” | Dr. Pierre Kory | December 2020 |
| Christian Perronne | “The problem with all the drug [regulatory] agencies in the world—the FDA in the United States, the European Medical Agency, the French drug agency—they all say “No, hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work; azithromycin doesn’t work; ivermectin doesn’t work,” despite many, many published proofs that they work. Because if they acknowledge that they do work, it’s impossible for them to market their so-called “vaccines”. That’s the only reason; it’s a marketing reason.” | Christian Perronne | 13 August 2021 |
