Covid-19, hydroxychloroquine, drug shortage: André Bercoff talks about it on Sud Radio on January 4, 2024.
Covid-19, hydroxychloroquine, drug shortage: Professor Didier Raoult was the guest of André Bercoff on January 4.
“Hydroxychloroquine is the most prescribed treatment in the world”
Professor Didier Raoult was first known and criticized for having used hydroxychloroquine as a drug to treat Covid-19 patients, a treatment that the military received in particular before leaving for operations. “L’hydroxychloroquine is the most prescribed treatment in the world“, he explains. “In March 2020, a study of The Lancet reported that 10% of people treated with hydroxychloroquine died. It was a total fantasy, what we called Lancetgate.” “We took the complete list of patients who had been treated, we looked at who had died through INSEE, we compared the list of people who had visited us with the INSEE list of deaths. We had this checked by a bailiff. I made this available to the ministry.” These are “data that is entirely external to our institution“, which show that we have a “mortality rate five times lower than those who did not receive it.“
“We can talk about everything, I don’t really care, I talk about things that I have touched, that I have seen“, evades Professor Raoult when speaking of the remaining suspicions against hydroxychloroquine. “Mr. Brown (former Minister of Health) did his thesis on the toxicity of hydroxychloroquine, it is from 2.5 grams.“It is therefore possible that certain institutes gave toxic doses, but this was not the case at the IHU.”We have done thousands of dosages, we know exactly what the levels are, we never exceed 1.2.“
Promotion of medicines: “In France we don’t realize that if someone gave you 30,000 euros it’s to influence you”
“There is a major issue, in France we can no longer find amoxicillin for children“, deplores Didier Raoult. Why? “It doesn’t bring in any money, so the ANSM (National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products) decides she’s going to buy them cheaper, so we’re bad customers. We don’t pay them to make way for new drugs that cost 100 times more..“However, the latter are not necessarily more effective.”You find this at all levels.” “We can no longer find this or that medication in pharmacies because they are too old and too cheap.“
“We peaked with drugs in the late 20th century“, “we have accumulated a capital of molecules” which allows “treat people without much difference“, in poor countries as well as in rich countries.”If when there is a new disease you say we are going to take a medicine from 70 years ago which works very well“, this poses a problem because “We’re not going to be able to binge on that stuff.“Today, some doctors prescribe new drugs, not only because they think they are better, but also because they make money from these prescriptions.”Their patients become guinea pigs without them telling them“, deplores Didier Raoult, “if I distribute the latest product at 10,000 euros per injection they will give me money to do that.” “”The loyal relationship that a doctor must have with his patient is to tell him I am paid to test a drug, this should be part of the documents which are transmitted from hand to hand.“
“The political personnel of the last twenty years have deteriorated”
“Overall, political personnel over the last twenty years have deteriorated, people who are very good are leaving.” “We don’t want scientific people, we want people who are compatible with the fashion of the time“, explains Professor Raoult, citing in particular the president of Harvard, who has just resigned following the scandal linked to her non-conviction of anti-Semitic comments. She thus ticked all the boxes of right-thinking, without being a recognized scientist .”You can’t even have the really good ones anymore because they’re going to end up in an area where people are used to hanging around.“A situation that quickly sickens talented people who, on the contrary, want to work to advance their field.
When the experts have left the ship, only those who are guided only by politics remain. “I do not want to make recommendations which are not scientific but which are political“, explains Professor Raoult to justify his resignation from the Scientific Council. However, there is not far from politics to money. “The first financier of the WHO is Bill Gates, the second is the United States, the third is Bill Gates, the two foundations.“We can then question the relevance of the decisions taken in health matters.”We have a new Minister of Health who receives gifts from Urgo (a brand of bandages). In the pharmaceutical industry there is no free lunch, you are never given something for nothing.
