The short
answer is not at the moment, but that hasn't stopped the debate
(and surprising culture war) from raging about this drug. A
recent opinion piece in Newsweek
with the damning title
"The Key to Defeating
COVID-19 Already Exists. We Need to Start Using It"
written by
Yale epidemiology professor Harvey
A. Risch, MD, PhD, suggests that we are missing the boat by not
widely using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and tens of thousands of
patients are dying because of it. In addition, he poses that the
evidence is clear and the FDA, NIH and others are in effect denying
the proof of drug efficacy. What is the data to support these
claims?
