NYC Councilman Paul Vallone credits Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 recovery - New York Post

Paul Vallone, who represents northeast Queens, took the drug along with a standard flu Z-pack, and came back from the brink almost immediately.

Took it that day and within two to three days I was able to breathe,” Vallone told The Post.

Though Vallone went public with his coronavirus diagnosis in an April 1 Twitter post, saying he was experiencing “mild symptoms,” his actual condition was considerably more severe.

“We were in panic mode when I went down because I didn’t have a lot of immune response,” he said.

This drug is already on the market and the patent is up so it’s cheap.

Always follow the money,” Peter Vallone said in a May 12 Facebook post, sharing a link to an NYU study touting the drug.

“[It] saved my life,” Paul Vallone said in the comments.

Hydroxychloroquine, a Malaria medication which has been on the market since 1955, came back into the spotlight this year as a potential pandemic miracle cure.

President Trump has frequently touted the drug and even took it himself for a time to help ward off the virus — and has been criticized for it.

Paul Vallone, however, remains grateful for the president’s advocacy
