Generally yes, but there's cases where parents gave this shit to their kids too.

I think you're confusing this and Ivermectin. Hydroxychloroquine (as far as I know) is prescription only. Ivermectin is too technically but you can get the "livestock" version at a TSC or similar store. Which says a lot about the "not sheep" crowd taking medicine literally used for livestock.

people got Hydroxychloroquine by unauthorized means too

And some people with authorized means couldn't get it because of the idiots

I got them from my grandma when I couldn’t get Oreos.

Technically, that still serves to remove their genes from the pool.

Maybe you should think twice before posting this kind of uncompassionate drivel.

Some of these people died because they trusted the prescription from their doctor. Not everybody is able to read and understand scientific literature, and they might have to rely on the authority of someone they trust. Some doctors believed, against all evidence, that this was the right thing to prescribe and some patients took their word for it.

Which doctors were prescribing this shit?
