Just came to my mind during a conversation in another post, and there could be something.
HCQ (C18H26ClN3O) have a close relative - quinine hydrochloride (C20H25ClN2O2), which have anti-malaria properties too. Structure of molecules are similar, so the properties should be similar to some extent too.
quinine hydrochloride molecule structure
Quinine is a component of tonics like Schweppes Bitter Lemon and many others. It is easy to check the presence of quinine in bitter tonic using UV lamp or LED. Quinine is fluorescent and tonic will glow under UV light. So, if HCQ cure covid (or make sympthoms less severe), tonic with quinin should too, may be with less efficiency.
So, the cure for covid could be literally in every grocery, gas station, supermarket, etc for a dollar right here, right now from the very beginning.
Not many people drink bitter tonics often, so the possible correlation between drinking tonic and severity of covid will be hard to notice. That could be a reason why all that FUD campaign against HCQ was heavily pushed by every MSM and authority shill. If HCQ would had been approved as a cure, very soon many will find out that you don't even need any medicine to cure that stupid flu, just a regular bitter drink from grocery.
This could put all that coronahoax to completely another level of maliciousness.
Hardly you could drink so much bitter tonic to get a problems with overdosing. Also I don't know exact amount of quinine in tonic, there is no amount on the can of tonic I have now, but quick search show that Russian standard says no more than 100mg per 1 liter.
In any case it is recommended to drink a lot of liquid when you get cold. Why this liquid could not be a bitter tonic?
Really, I didn't try to conciously use bitter tonic when got cold and can't tell dosage or course.
Usually I eat a lot of honey when getting cold, and it works fine for me. Next time will definitely try bitter tonics, now I'm curious. :)
