Widely known and used in Eastern Asia side. You need to have friends in medical fields from that region to know. The western side is basically disinformation itself because of democratic-republican tussle during current year election agenda. Western countries mortality are significant higher in those countries choosing to not use it. I suggest you contact any of your friends working in medical fields working in Eastern Asian side to know a clearer picture.

It isn’t true that ventilators are proven to be useful against Covid; at least the evidence is consistent that hcq being more effective.
