Obviously its way too early to give any commitment that this drug is working or not. 2-3 months are early to develop a vaccination. And obviously you have taken the liberty to send the link for the opposing view. Let me share my news links now :
1.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/health/hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-malaria.html
"Coughing and fever eased a day or so earlier in the patients who received hydroxychloroquine, and pneumonia improved in 25 of 31, as opposed to 17 of 31 in the controls"
" Two patients had minor side effects from hydroxychloroquine: One had a rash and another had a headache."
This is the major reason that HCQ is given because the side effects are very mild and there is a higher probability of patients with mild symptoms getting recovered.

"Patients randomized to receive
hydroxychloroquine with standard treatment had a significantly shorter time to body temperature recovery of about a day, as well as a significantly reduced time to cough remission of about a day versus patients receiving only standard treatment, reported Zhan Zhang, MD, of Wuhan University in China, and colleagues."
Patients in the HCQ group had a significantly shorter time to body temperature recovery versus controls (2.2 days vs 3.2 days,
P=0.0008). Similar results were seen for time to cough remission for the HCQ and control groups (2.0 vs 3.1 days,
P=0.0016).
Just went through links you sent me . One for : Dr. David Boulware. I followed him on Twitter . He is conducting a trial and the results will come today or tomorrow.
Then i see you have sent me a link from the website : sciencedirect.com
I also typed HCQ + COVID in the search bar and came with this link :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1871402120300515
"Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine has shown some promise in treatment of COVID-19 and should be fast tracked for further research"
Two small human studies have been conducted with both these drugs in COVID-19, and have shown significant improvement in some parameters in patients with COVID-19.
We still have to do a lot of clinical tests and study or you can believe on a conspiracy theory that Trump have his financial interest. Spain , Italy , China , India are giving HCQ to patients. And of course buying domains are gambling.
