Evidence of efficacy for ivermectin is inconclusive. It should not be used outside of clinical trials.(May 2021, June 2021, June 2021, July 2021, July 2021) (WHO, FDA, IDSA, ASHP, CDC, NIH)
Neither hydroxychloroquine nor chloroquine should be used, either alone or in combination with azithromycin, in inpatient or outpatient settings.(July 2020, Aug 2020, Sep 2020, May 2021) (WHO, FDA, IDSA, ASHP, NIH)

This article (albiet not as badly as Hydroxychloroquine) has been taken over by covid. Given the jury has come back and recommends against its use, it only merits a few sentences in this article, but obviously a lot of work went into this and I hate to just delete it.
As a result I'd like to fork some content into a new article for historical interest -> Draft:Chloroquine/Hydroxychloroquine and COVID-19. If you see stuff being deleted, don't worry, that's where it's going. Mvolz (talk) 17:32, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
It's probably too specific to keep its own page. I figure it will end up as part of the page on the social effects/reaction to the pandemic along with other examples of "folk epidemiology" and the phenomena of covid shot hesitancy. It's extremely important to document. It will happen again.--66.190.13.201 (talk) 16:34, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
There is a chemistry question that I am unable to understand here: Talk:2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid#Synonymy with chloroquine. Invasive Spices (talk) 16 January 2022 (UTC)
