And you did say the side effects were different, you just tried to use the CDC as the evidence.
Holy fuck man. I never said anything about them being different. I linked the CDC website which listed the few most prevalent side effects, none of which have anything to do with the heart, kidney, or liver. You know why that website doesn't list them? Because they aren't a big deal when treating malaria. You found a website that listed every single side effect, and proceeded to jack off about it. The benefits of taking hydroxy outweigh the risks, so no one gives a shit. Just like if you take Tylenol for your head or knee, it may give you diarrhea, but it probably won't. Or, it may not be good on your liver if it's already damaged. Just like hydroxy might be messing with Covid patients with already affected lungs. Crazy! The benefits - according to people much smarter than us - don't seem to outweigh the risks with Covid, so they don't think you should do it. That's all I've been saying, you made up this side effect debate out of nowhere. It's really not that hard, and perhaps stop being such a prick about it. So to answer your original question about the side effects in regards to Covid and Malaria, yeah it is okay, because hardly anyone taking hydroxy for malaria are also having heart arrhythmias. Else, it wouldn't be such a widely accepted treatment.
As for your other mumbo jumbo, did you really suggest malaria and Covid affect the body similarly? Let's recap: one has killed hundreds of thousands despite some of the most aggressive precautions/treatments possible. It inexplicably and rapidly deteriorates people of all age, gender, and ethnicity. The other is pretty widely treatable and preventable. Don't travel to Africa, and you probably won't ever have a problem with it. Didn't your entire fucking family have Covid? At any point did you find yourself thinking "Thank God it's only Covid and not malaria!!"
