In the news -- To set the record straight (for those who are
interested)
This a serious, in-depth analysis of the claims made by the French
Professor, Dr. Raoult, in Marseille (Southern France).
It is clear he does not follow protocols properly and he is a
dubious character, if not worse. So, the jury is out. If he is any good, why is
he not listened to? If he is as bad as he seems to be, how come he is still in
post? There is a failing of the French system of supervision, here, to say the
least. This might be the real scandal within the crisis!
Apparently, larger-scale trials of this treatment or similar ones
are taking place, or about to take place, also in the USA, so, more evidence
should emerge.
The comments (some of them at any rate) are quite interesting,
because, to a layperson such as myself, they give an insight into the
complexity of assessing the efficacy of new drugs (or re-purposed 'old'
drugs).
