Just in case it is not clear you're trying to say something extremely fucking stupid...

Trials in several countries are being "temporarily" suspended as a precaution, the [World Health Organization] said on Monday.

It comes after a recent medical study suggested the drug could increase the risk of patients dying from Covid-19.

The Lancet study involved 96,000 coronavirus patients, nearly 15,000 of whom were given hydroxychloroquine - or a related form chloroquine - either alone or with an antibiotic.

The death rates of the treated groups were: hydroxychloroquine 18%; chloroquine 16.4%; control group 9%. Those treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine in combination with antibiotics had an even higher death rate.

The study found that the patients were more likely to die in hospital and develop heart rhythm complications than other Covid patients in a comparison group.
