Rita Wilson, who announced she had contracted the coronavirus with her husband Tom Hanks last month, warned that taking the chloroquine drug that has been touted by the White House as a "game changer," caused her "extreme side effects."
The couple has since recovered from their infection that was reported on March 11, after quarantining in Australia, where they caught the illness.
Hanks cited milder symptoms than Wilson, who was given the contentious drug chloroquine for her treatment, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Wilson said she was not sure if the drug worked or if her fever broke naturally. However, regardless of whether the drug worked, she said she thinks it caused "extreme side effects" that made her nauseous, dizzy, and weakened her muscles.
She added, "We have to be very considerate about this drug. We don't know if it's safe in this case."
Sounds to me like they are once again attempting to show that Hydroxychloroquine is either dangerous or ineffective. Also you will notice that the so called side effects from Hydroxychloroquine could be from the Virus itself.
I am tired of this BS
Yet she recovered quickly.
She shouldn’t have been offered it. Ungrateful biotch.
Did she take the fish tank version?
/s
...said Rita Wilson, who is not dead.
Yet she recovered quickly..figures the douche got the drug, remember, rich celebrities have this stuff in their medicine cabinet just in case to protect their sorry behinds..yeah Id rather get a lil dizzy than dead so thanks Rita
Why ? I don’t get it. If these side effects are common they will come out anyway. She has every right to talk about her experience.
But she avoided the extreme affects of the virus. Some people are just spoiled to the core. Or perhaps they are just stupid as can be. I think both may apply in her case.
Great logic - doesn't know if the drug worked or the virus broke on its own but seems sure that the side-effects were caused by the drug but not the virus. - Yeah, OK
Did she take Zinc with it?
My understanding is that without Zinc, it’s pretty much useless.
Is that the course you recommend for others?
The “resistance” has a difficult narrative to carry. On the one hand, hydroxy is an essential, critical medication for people with lupus, who take 200 to 400 mg per day, every day, for years.
On the other hand, a five day course of the medicine at the same dose is dangerous poison that has an array of side effects never before seen by people who take it for lupus.
They must get dizzy at times keeping both ideas in their tiny heads.
Hey, Rita, want to see what “extreme side effects” are? Try undergoing treatment for cancer. Chances are, the “side effects” in her case were caused by the disease itself, not the treatment. I have seen no other mention of these ‘side effects” by any of the doctors prescribing it. And, as someone else said, she’s alive, isn’t she?
So let’s just ban chemotherapy.
Many cancer patients end up dying anyway, and we all know the side effects it causes.
Could this account be deemed “anecdotal”? My inner Fauci dismisses it, utterly.
Wait - she took it? Was treated by an Australian doctor with it?
The side effects are well known. If it’s effective, it’s still used. Her description of the effects are identical to the known symptoms of the disease.
So she’s upset that it apparently worked, but with some discomfort?
We all know the real answer from these two charlatans.
I guess the only other option was possible death? What a Trump hating Beotch
So Rita doesn’t know for sure if the drug caused her fever to break, but she knows it caused side effects. Ok Rita. Whatever.
So if the drug caused both the side effects AND the fever to break.....I still suggest that the leftists refuse to take it.
You summed it up very well.
Chloroquine not same as hydroxychloroquine.
