There's a media war on Raoult in France.
I don't know if Chloroquine is effective on COVID 19, but I know that it's comically cheap and people took it for years against malaria without side effects.
So at worse it's a placebo.
On the other hand there's Remdesivir that's astronomically expensive, destroys kidneys and hasn't any effectiveness against COVID (even the OMS says so).
But it's still the recommended treatment in France since they forbid the chloroquine treatment.
Color me skeptical about their motivations but all the big proponents of Remdesivir have financial links with Gilead.
- creuset 6y agoIt can be worse than a placebo if it is not effective but physicians think it is: this would lead to patients not being given alternative (& effective) treatments - if any, or being less monitored since they are expected to get better with the drug.

- steeve 6y agoSo many things in this post are inaccurate here and are trivially debunkable.

- jariel 6y ago"So at worse it's a placebo." No, telling the masses that something works when it does not is much more than a placebo, it's very bad.
