Hydroxychloroquine is why only 15 Ugandans have died from COVID-19

Hydroxychloroquine is why Uganda, with a population of 43M, has only 15 COVID-19 deaths

Uganda, a country in east-central Africa, has a 2018 population of 42.729 million, which is 13% of the United States’ population of 328.239 million in 2019.

And yet Uganda has 1,603 COVID-19 cases and just 15 deaths, whereas the U.S. has 5,656,744 COVID-19 cases and 175,105 deaths. That means:

Uganda’s number of COVID-19 cases is only 0.028% of the number of U.S. COVID-19 cases; and

Uganda’s number of COVID-19 deaths is only 0.008% of the number of U.S. COVID-19 deaths.

How can that be, when Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world, with a per capita GDP of $769, where 37.8% of the population in 2012 lived on less than $1.25 a day.

This is why:

Uganda is afflicted with malaria, and the masses take Hydroxychloroquine as a prophylaxis....

Long-ish (and detail-rich) article but here's the upshot:

HCQ Works. Banning Its Use Causes Needless Suffering and Death

...The data “show that U.S. COVID-19 death rates are at least eight times higher than in countries with early and prophylactic use of HCQ,” AAPS wrote while observing: “the safety of Hydroxychloroquine is well documented. When the safe use of this drug is projected against its apparent effect of decreasing the progression of early cases to ventilator use, it is difficult to understand the reluctance of the authorities in charge of U.S. pandemic management to recommend its use in early COVID-19 cases.”...

This is perhaps the most ignorant stuff I have seen you post. That you can not see the simple fallacy in this is beyond laughable. Can’t say I expected much from a guy with your posting standards but apparently drawing logical conclusions is not your thing. Now go dig on with your Q stuff.
