Hydroxychloroquine with Azithromycin works. They keep censoring Tucker Carlson, Bolonsaro etc who talk about Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin. Big pharma wants everyone to wait for their vaccine so they can make billions of dollars.

I want to believe this. I really do but if this combination is really effective against covid... why are so many still dying? I don't think there is a shortage of these old drugs.

There are few possibilities:

1) It doesn't work.

2) Doctors don't know it or they are too stupid.

3) Doctors are killing people knowingly by not using them. (Big pharma conspiracy)

Yes there is shortage. Yes, it seems to work, there is enough evidence to support it does.

Problem here is:

1) Even if there is enough evidence that it does work, those are not "officially" vetoed.
2) Due to limit reserves and the point above, doctors are only using it at their own discretion (each hospital protocols) and only for patients that are already showing VERY bad pneumony. TOO LATE. It should be used at the early stage of infection (or even as a preventative measure) to slow rate of reproduction of the virus so that the inmune system can catch up.

This is correct. Hydroxychloroquine is not the magic bullet but it does have a good success rate in at least one study but it should be given early. It has side effects that can be dangerous so should not be taken prophylactically. Use Vitamin C and chelated Zinc to boost your immune response.

In a ideal world, we should be giving hidroxicloroquine as a profylactic to health workers that are greatly exposed to the virus and also to everyone in the early stages of the infection. But... Not only we don't test people until they show clear symptoms of difficulty of breathing (noone is being tested otherwise, due to lack of tests) but even then, there is not enough supplies for all positives.
