    I don’t know in other countries, but in France there was a sort of cult from some media around Raoult, who was, at the time, a respected name. So maybe it’s not that simple.

    People are talking about dead people and just call them morons. Without any idea of what they went through. Amazing.

      My wife’s aunt is married to a Frenchman and the level of worship he displayed for the guy was incroyable. No matter what came out disproving how ineffective Hydroxychloroquine was in tests during 2020/2021 he was absolutely certain that Raoult would prove to be right in the end.
