A member asked:
I heard that covid can be cured with an anti-malaria pill. does that mean that you can get covid from mosquitos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and No. Hydroxychloroquine does not have adequate scientific literature to indicate any useful impact against Covid in humans. It does provide health risks that when not treating malaria are completely unjustifiable. PEOPLE spread Covid incredibly easily--why would it need any help from a mosquito? Vaccination helps reduce the risk of severe or fatal disease. Mask wear and social distance work!
