Does the science back that up?
No. Even the most credible study critical of HCQ found that it was well tolerated. The study "did not observe excess mortality in the first 2 days of treatment with
285 hydroxychloroquine, the time when early effects of dose-dependent toxicity might be expected."

There was also "no excess of new major cardiac arrhythmia": http://archive.is/IQlTs#selection-2503.1350-2503.1402
Did ANYONE suffer ill-effects at any time? Yes. "There was one report of a serious 238 adverse reaction believed related to hydroxychloroquine; a case of torsades de pointes from 239 which the patient recovered without the need for intervention."

Why is Bill Gates pushing disinformation?
