      "I have never done randomized trials (…). The effect of randomized stuff, maybe it works on people who had a myocardial infarction, but putting that in infectious diseases, it doesn’t make sense.” Well, that explains why his hydroxychlorquine/azithromycin study was so crappy.https://twitter.com/andreas/status/1243527856774361088 …

      Didier Raoult also wrote a book called "The Truth About Vaccines," which sure looks pretty antivaccine to me. https://www.amazon.fr/vérité-sur-vaccins-Didier-Raoult-ebook/dp/B07891P8DD/ref=sr_1_5?__mk_fr_FR= …ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=2HBH4IRSEPONQ&dchild=1&keywords=didier+raoult&qid=1585315288&sprefix=Didier+ra%2Caps%2C247&sr=8-5

          "...the authors never showed the results of day 14 either. They also refused to share their secondary endpoint data, namely 'the clinical effectiveness of treatment on time to apyrexia, normalization of respiratory rate, and average length of hospital stay and mortality.'”🤦‍♂️

          Actually, even if the title sounds 100% antivax, in the book he overpromote chickenpox, flu and rotavirus vaccination arguing that these disease are very very common. While for, polio and dipthreria he says that the vaccination is useless now cuz diseases are very rare.

          This is an accurate picture of his opinions, indeed. He strongly supports HPV vaccination as well. He also advises people going to Nigeria, Pakistan or to Mecca to get vaccinated against polio.

          Who cares? What did your man find so far regarding the virus? Nothing! Just a big mouth. At least Raoult found something that seems to work and that the French government is now allowing.
