#4  except on Swedes.

Possibly, they are too phlegmatic.

#5 ^Psychosomatic, I believe.
Would like to do some experiments on USA Trump haters. Would both HCQ and Placebo cause, what was it, blinding head aches?

#6 Grom, without dosage data the anecdotes are useless.

It is perfectly possible to kill yourself with a "Dollar Tree" bottle of tylenol.

#7 ^The one at the link was given two tablets.

#8 Two tablets of what?

Both chloroquine (CQ), branded as Aralen, and counterpart hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), known as Plaquenil, are well-established medicines.

It is unclear which drug the Swedish patients were given, but hydroxychloroquine is thought to be less toxic and causes fewer side effects.

#9 Also no mention of zinc in the article on Sweden.

#10 #8 chloroquine according to the article. But, read this:
The 40-year-old told the newspaper Expressen he began suffering cramps, peripheral vision loss and a headache that felt like stepping into 'a high voltage plant'
To me, this sounds kinda familiar

#12 Wait, did they consult the VA? (do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

#13 #11 Bad period.

#14 Just as a mind exercise, but consider that the Wuhan Flu was a contagion attack upon the U.S. medical system. Yes, I know other countries got hit also, but consider them collateral damage or as below.

A small amount of research could easily determine source countries providing largest visit counts to a couple of targeted U.S. areas. Thence work backwards.

Why? And Cui bono?
