      While @realDonaldTrump did supercharge it, the wholesale embrace of #Hydroxychloroquine to treat #COVID19 based on anecdotes was well under way before Trump noticed. That’s on us, as doctors. We embraced the drug and made it a de facto standard of care based on no good evidence.https://twitter.com/DrFulli/status/1247432628401246208 …

      Here you are with “Many MDs are stupid about #guruRaoult #covid19 Rx.” : https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN21O2VO?__twitter_impression=true … via @schneiderleonid which I recommend to follow for bravery vs powerful fraudsters on universities payrolls & a great German sense of irony. NB: If you can, sponsor him financially.

      On us? Nope nope nope. Many among us in France tried to contain the fire @raoult_didier lit with his megalomania and love for media-induced frenzy.

      Yet French physicians adopted the Chinese consensus statement recommending #Hydroxychloroquine for ##cocid19 weeks before Raoult Didier published his first paper, did they not? No, Raoult might have supercharged the craze, but we physicians started it.

          That's what I don't get. Everyone is using it empirically. Everyone. If it were a game changer, the game would *already* have been changed. Waiting for the data on true antivirals to come out. Not this half-assed nonsense.

          No. I'm not advocating for French physicians specifically, but he started the whole shitstorm, before he even published his extremely flawed paper, by a video titled "Coronavirus: Endgame" ( Fin de partie) in which in front of an unseen crowd of students ( I guess) he said that

          the pandemic was as good as over. The Chinese, whom he knew very well and advised regularly, being who he was, had tried chloroquine with fantastic results. And it was great because it was well-known, cheap, and absoluetly safe with no side-effects. This was on 25th of Feb, there

          as a french physician, i respectfully will point out that no french physician embraced HCQ before the publication of the shameful so called ´studies’ and the ensuing media craze
