That is an it depends.

HCQ does have a known established human tolerance. It acidifies the vesicles that transport stuff inside the cell. In theory the virus is not acid resistant/stable. In addition thanks to the tiny volume of a vesicle relative to the number of hydrated protons it gets really acidic.

The French study has been refuted. The Wuhan study is linked, and very lacking in support data. It is mostly observations and the HCQ was given along with a cocktail of other meds, so god knows what was doing what.

I get if you are on deaths door, use what you got (hence the Hail Mary exemption by the FDA).. but for an average case? That remains to be seen or best yet proven.
