I was in Vietnam, (Phulam Signal battalion) 1968-1969 and to prevent malaria, we were required to take a large light brown pill every Monday morning. We called them crap pills because they made us have a runny poop that day. 🙁 I assume every Army person in country did the same.

Check out Rasmussen polls. Talk about a tribal mentality. Less than 25% f democrats say they would use it, more than 55% of republicans say they would use it. Then there are undecideds in the middle. But if Trump says its good, democrats are running for the hills. Maybe even their own graves.
I took Chloroquine (not the Hydroxy form) in 1991 during Desert Storm due to malaria symptoms.
I had no issues and would take it again if I had to.
I took an anti-malarial as a child in the 60s, when in the Far East.
I have not yet died suddenly.
They act as prophylactics.
Indian Tonic Water was invented as an anti malarial - I take a daily measure or two.
My brother who has been in ICU for a month, was supposed to get the HCL treatment never got it because his wife hates Trump, took over his treatment, nixed the treatment, and he has been in a medically induced coma.
She also will not speak to me, a retired nurse flight attendant, I am not permited to speak to any of the drs or nurses, I have to go through her.
I would buy you a ticket , to come to Walnut Creek, to do an investigative story, because I need to shine the light on this injustice, maybe save his life help
