Nine breaches of the code of medical ethics
These doctors reproach the director of the IHU in Marseille in particular for having promoted hydroxychloroquine, a drug whose effectiveness is not proven to fight against the coronavirus.
"The doctors also did not digest the multiple offenses of the Marseille researcher, who called 'crazy' those who did not prescribe his treatment, before insinuating that some had deliberately left patients to die," continues the daily.
On June 26, the director of the AP-HP Martin Hirsch accused Didier Raoult of having uttered "false testimony" during his hearing before the commission of inquiry of the National Assembly on the management of the crisis of coronavirus.
