Actually the article specifies that the chloroquine is not a vaccine, 
but a medicine that - allegedly - slows down but does not kill the 
virus, in that is it combats infection. It has been included by the 
State Pharma agency in the provisory treatment plan against Covid since 
it had been administered with good results on patients in China.

If one wants to read the whole article (in Dutch) deepl.com does a good 
job translating to English.

Ciaoui, p+2D!
