He doesn’t believe in evolution, nor climate change. At the end of January, he called warnings of a pandemic „crazy“. He has published 3000 papers in the last ten years. And even the photo of him is quite funny if you followed the news in 2016. Judging by the list of trials, an awful lot of resources is spent on this. I wonder what the opportunity costs are.

There's a ridiculous controversy in France about this guy. Lots of French people see him as the misunderstood genius that could save us from the virus, if it weren't for our evil government (obviously sold to the pharmaceutical companies). We even have celebrities (actors, rappers, humorists...) begging the president to listen to this doctor. We reached the point where we trust "celebrities" more than the scientists leading the effort to fight the pandemics.
