The picture is from https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6493/829 published "22 May 2020" at the time when less was known about Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine than today about treating Covid-19 (1). That's the needed perspective when watching the picture, where the rest is still relevant.

1)

E.g. June 23, 2020 "NIH: Trial Investigating Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 Stopped"

https://www.empr.com/home/news/hydroxychloroquine-trial-halt...

17 June 2020 "“Solidarity” clinical trial"

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...

"hydroxychloroquine does not result in the reduction of mortality of hospitalised COVID-19 patients, when compared with standard of care."

And before, Jun. 9, 2020: "Three big studies dim hopes that hydroxychloroquine can treat or prevent COVID-19":
