Didier Raoult does not drop the case. While he must be heard this Wednesday by the National Assembly's commission of inquiry on the management of the epidemic, the controversial boss of the IHU Mediterranean infection in Marseille assures that the coronavirus has made "twice as many dead because we didn't treat people. " In an interview with La Provence , the professor sets down a new charge against his colleagues. "In practice, we have not treated people," he says, arguing that "if we had not been afraid, we would have had half the deaths."
Beyond the debate on hydroxychloroquine, Didier Raoult is “convinced that we saved people not only with treatment but because we took care of them: we hospitalized them, oxygenated them, we gave them blood thinners, that's what makes a big difference. ”
"The best therapeutic combination"
Didier Raoult does not budge, despite more than controversial trials the best therapeutic combination is that of azithromicin and hydroxychloquineMoreover, he affirms that the scientific council according to him has gone wrong by explaining to people to stay at home as long as 'They had no breathing problems.
"From the scanners, we realized that getting the message out of shortness of breath was a mistake because people have very serious lung damage without being short of breath," he says, before concluding: “We treated 3,700 people and had no problem. "
