Malarone is also a malaria preventative, and I personally had a psychotic break while taking it, it took 8 men to hold me down and strap me a bed for two days until I came to.
Seems pretty harmless I guess?

I can't tell if this is a troll comment. The article makes no mention of hydroxychloroquine.

I don't know where that was mentioned in the article, so I think we're going off topic, but isn't the use of cures weighed against their efficacy and danger? No one would suggest chemotherapy for a cold.
Hydroxycholorquine has proven to be effective against Malaria, which is terrible and can be deadly, but proven ineffective and in fact can make worse COVID, so it's not recommended to be used there. Makes sense to me.

Chemotherapy has been used as a cancer treatment for decades as well. There is zero doubt that chemo is extremely harmful to the body even as it destroys cancer cells. Sometimes you take one thing that's unsafe because something else is more unsafe. That doesn't make the thing safe.

Hydroxychloroquine has always been unsafe. It's just that in some situations, the risk of malaria is more unsafe.

If you don't mind, could you say a bit more about the psychotic break? The closest thing from my own experience is being told that I thrashed around a lot while coming out of post-surgery anesthesia, but I have no memory of it.

No, malaria drugs have been long known to have side-effects.
