From the article: “We’ve treated 400 patients and haven’t seen a single adverse event.”
When I was serving in Korea in the seventies, every table in the mess hall had bottles of hydroxycloroquine next to the salt and pepper shakers. We were under orders to take a certain number of pills evey day/week (forget which). We were not in a hospital setting. No one monitored our physical well being. No one died. IOW, these reports of adverse health effects, even deaths, are, to put it mildly, horseapples.

We traveled to Australia, Papua and the South Pacific in 1975. Numerous shots in advance required. Nothing for malaria.
Arrived in Australia. People asked if we were taking (then) chloroquine. Said “Everyone here has malaria.”
The pills were in the pharmacies and OTC, pre-national health care. We took them and were fine. Returned to Australia in 2005. We skipped Papua, no one said a word about malaria, but Immodium required a prescription.
