French medical bodies on Sunday, May 28 called on authorities to punish researcher Didier Raoult for"the largest 'unauthorized' clinical trial ever seen" into the use of hydroxychloroquine to treatRaoult, the former head of the IHU Mediterranee research hospital, and his subordinates engaged in"systematic prescription of medications as varied as hydroxychloroquine, zinc, ivermectin, and azithromycin to patients suffering from COVID-19...
Endorsement from respected tropical disease specialist Raoult helped push anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine into the public consciousness in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, feeding into its promotion by former US President Donald Trump and Brazil's then-leader Jair Bolosonaro. The doctors' bodies said that authorities should take"measures appropriate to the infractions" for the sake of patient safety and"the credibility of French medical research."
So far no one has been charged in a probe opened last year by Marseille prosecutors into fraud and unwarranted human testing at the IHU Mediterranee, based in the southern port city.
