Who Is Resisting Chloroquine?

The Captain dug up an interesting item.

Chloroquine, a relatively safe, effective and cheap drug used for treating many human diseases including malaria, amoebiosis and human immunodeficiency virus is effective in inhibiting the infection and spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. The fact that the drug has significant inhibitory antiviral effect when the susceptible cells were treated either prior to or after infection suggests a possible prophylactic and therapeutic use....
Well, who would say such a thing?  Awful.  Just Awful--it's not CLINICALLY TESTED, right?

Wrong.

This is a conclusion statement by a NIH study on Coronavirus (Covid-19 is SARs, Bat-SARs + some proteins that mimic HIV).  This study, entitled “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread,” was completed and published on August 22, 2005

Hydroxychloroquine is a descendant of chloroquine, just as WuFlu is a descendant of SARS.  Huh!

So who could possibly be behind the enormous push-back on the most effective treatment we know of?

Can you spell B-I-G  P-H-A-R-M-A?
