From what I’ve read, the claim is the HC causes heart damage.

I’ve also read that 2/3rds of people who come down with covid-19 are showing heart damage as a consequence of just having covid-19.

I’d be curious to see what this frontline group has to say about the heart damage factor.

What is the source for that?

We've had many athletes like Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, and others get this and I haven't heard of any lingering problems other than the one South African (IIRC) swimmer very early on.

I didn’t pay attention to the source. It’s was in the “top stories” on my iPhone the other day, the one saying 2/3rds are experiencing heart damage.

I’ll try to find it.

Thanks for trying. Seems like I saw someone on another board saying something similar.

Wonder if it's just fear porn that some network or website ran with... you know, the "some doctors speculate that 2/3 of patients will suffer heart damage..." and then several others pick it up.

Because if that were a large, legitimate study I can't believe the CNNs wouldn't be repeating it nonstop.

It sure is weird that a drug that has been used successfully for so long it's off-patent now has such serious side effects all of a sudden

That part is beyond absurd. Maybe it doesn't help consistently against Covid, who knows, but all these people screaming about how dangerous it is are nuts. No, just biased. The drug has been in use for 60 years now.

Actually the base of it quinine has been being used since the 1600s. And I can't help but wonder if part of this is there is no money to made if it does turn out to be the best treatment
