#7 "I was completely nauseous, and I had vertigo. I could not walk, and my muscles felt very weak."

Yet soldiers had to fight across the Pacific like this and with Malaria, not in some 5 star hospital.

#8 ^very impressive knowledge. My father had malaria while in the South Pacific. His teeth were also ground down half way to the gums as a result of experiencing 3 and 1/2 years of battle field stress in the South Pacific. .

#9 tl;dr: She didn't die. The drug *might* have worked. OrangeManBad.
(although they wouldn't give it to her in the first place unless she was pretty sick)

#10 Often given in tandem with a antibiotic, ariz-something-something that does have pretty bad side effects, like heart damage. Some are recommending using doxy-something-something instead.

#14  "I was completely nauseous, and I had vertigo. I could not walk, and my muscles felt very weak."...she felt "very tired, extremely achy, uncomfortable, didn’t want to be touched"

Sounds like a routine hangover.

#17 Were the side effects caused by COVID-19 or the drug? Many people have taken this drug for other diseases for many years with therapeutic effect. Ingrate wants a do-over?.

#18 Side effects are WHY HYDROchloroquine is prescribed. By the way, did they have the Hydro- version available and gave the one with more sideeffects because they both are pains in the a$$?

#22 Used to have to take chloroquine and dapsone (memory check sp). Chloro was witnessed, officers had to log it per trooper. Side effects from chloro were obvious for the next day or two. Dapsone seemed okay. BUT, no malaria! UNTIL I was sent to Japan (surgery) and they didn’t have those meds. Then I got first falciparum in the hospital, then vivax. Fun times.
