Well, when antimalarial drugs are suddenly limited in distribution because it might be usable against an engineered bioweapon... it means transmission is increased.

If HCQ went from being an over-the-counter medicine in a malaria zone like Vietnam to a more limited distribution, this is one of the things one would expect to happen.
