It amazes me how people can be most defiant regarding usual care practice and so prompt at accepting the first hypothetical unverified claim that comes their way in an emergency. Truly dumbfounding. And I've been at it for more than 10 years already.

Bro understands the difference between "non-peer-reviewed chinese study over 100 patients" and "lifesaving treatment" bro. Because bro happens to do clinical research for a living, bro.

Let's see what you do when your spouse is dying in your apartment with no medical help and all you have is a box of chloroquine. I truly don't wish this for you.
