      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.

      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

      were if I recollect correctly no known cases in France. The same day, a bunch of GPs and A&E specialists warned on social networks as well as by alerting the media that chloroquine was a potentially very dangerous drug. As first responders they knew what this kind of bullshit

      would entail. Confronted with this flurry of warnings, @raoult_didier then told the media that his detractors were not in his class, and that "Anyone who knows of the benefits of chloroquine should "jump on it". The next day, realising that he would be debunked, he changed his

      tack without acknowledging it and started to peddle hydroxychloroquine, who he knew was marginally less dangerous than cholorquine, and made fun of his detractors as if he had not first spoken about chloroquine. This is not just an unstable eccentric, but something else entirely

      His demeanor and the false hopes he dealt made him into a cult figure, specially on the extreme altright ( where he appears as an anti-establishment figure) and clueless politicians and has beens. So yes he has managed to attract some physicians and even hospital wards to use

      the stuff "because there is nothing else and it's worth a try". But unless I stand corrected, he started the whole shebang ( and the fact that stable geniuses like @realDonaldTrump followed him helped enormously) Thanks for reading me, I appreciate your tweets +++

      I note that the article was published on 26 February. That was two weeks after the Chinese expert consensus statement.
