If chloroquine’s so “dangerous” & even “poisonous,” why has the CDC for years been advising this:”Both adults and children should take one dose of chloroquine per week starting at least 1 week before traveling to the area where malaria transmission occurs”
https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/resources/pdf/fsp/drugs/chloroquine.pdf
That is a nice color brochure with some interesting details.
From your link:
“There are only a few places left in the world where
chloroquine is still effective including parts of
Central America and the Caribbean.”
Also, see:

Chloroquinine has a side effect of haemolytic anaemia with some men of African or Mediterranean descent due to a mutation on the Y chromosome. HCQ avoids this problem. For women either medicine is OK.
