Tobe fair,the only use of the word bacteria is in the supposed quotes from those saying that an anti-malaria drug won’t work on a virus. I think he was making fun of them with the “quote”.
But the author also says that malaria is caused by “a little parasite”. (In the second paragraph that is under the heading “The story with Hydroxychloroquine”
I think what the article is saying is that chloroquine/Hdroxycholoroquine interferes with a mechanism that both SARS-Cov-2 and the Malarial “parasite” use to attack hemoglobin.
I read the other day that the Hydrox-Q works to dull the spikes of the virus so it cannot break into the areas of the body it attacks..blood or what ever...
So even though it is a parasite drug, it helps with the Chinese virus in the way described.
