It is quite reassuring to see that there is no substantive comment, just as there is no comment on Raoult’s latest study with 30,000 patients, which definitively proved the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine, after the earlier, less perfect studies, and the PRINCIPLE study carried out urgently by the team of Gautret et al.
It would seem that there is a coalition of people who may have other conflicts of interest, commissioned and paid to cause harm, and to promote vaccines, which could not have been promoted in the presence of an effective treatment.
It is a delight to see these reactions, like a swan song, before the truth becomes entirely clear to everyone throughout the world.
