If you look at Wikipedia he is still being attacked and destroyed for being correct. This is so tragic. And everyone suffers from this persecution of a man who thinks out of the box, has curiosity, and understands connections

Of course Wikipedia is going to destroy him. Wikipedia is completely compromised and should not be an informational source for anything other than dates of famous battles.

I know that and you know that, but I was curious what it said and to see if anything has changed with the censorship and character assassination of the last 6 years and even before that I realize now

Correct, it's not a reliable source.

Or mainstream physics and chemistry.

I'm not sure I'd go that far. They are a constant sounding board for the maintenance and defense of scientific orthodoxy in the face of discoveries and/or new channels of thinking.

Wickedpedia is a good source ONLY for non-political articles. Look up any person, even Democrats and 'liberals' in any country, who dare go against the ruling cabal, and they will be falsely accused. Luc Montagnier, the Nobel virologist who said the mRNA shot should not be taken, is still being maligned, as are Drs. McCullough, Malone, etc. It's a wonder they don't still have it out for Galileo.

Wikipedia is a scam, I refuse to open any link.

In Ireland the President of the Irish Medical Council admitted 'everyone was denied this treatment' : (hydroxychloroquine)

Darrell Tanelian MD/PhD predicted COVID. He told around 2007 that The Powers were developing a virus/vaccine to control The Plebs. This was shortly after he quit medicine a storied career in medical research labeling healthcare as SickCare. You should interview him. He lives in Phoenix now. He is a child genius and a bit abrasive as all geniuses are.

I understand a bit of French and I followed the case of Dr. Raoult in the French press quite carefully in early 2020. In fact, it was the French government’s demonization of him that gave me the first clue that something was off about the Covid event.

After all, what honest actor could have a problem with a low cost and effective medication? And the answer I came to was that these were not honest actors.

And that proved to be the case.

Like Zev Zelenko, Raoult was one of the early heroes of that sad historical episode. Good to see him get a little credit.

Sorry, my impression is more of a feeling about Dr. Raoult. After so much time, it's perhaps more refined, but also more incomplete. I'm sending it to you to compare the moods between then and now, and how judging people who have, or have had, some role in the "larger pandemic" remains extremely difficult.

From what little I know, Dr. Raoult was a pioneer in suggesting alternative and effective therapies very early on. I'm referring to the beginning of the Covid outbreak, when he was treating people at his Mediterranean hospital for infectious diseases in Marseille.

This hospital was seen at the time, producing data on recovery rates that were different but independent from the French ones. Perhaps some people don't know, but like in all nations, these Covid data were "recycled" and distributed to everyone by the global distributor of Covid data, namely the site that acted as a global hub, your American John Hopkins University (JHUB). From there, they were sent out and distributed throughout the world, to anyone who was interested.

D. Raoult had a different way of presenting data on fatality, recovery, and intensive care admissions. At the time, not presenting data in the same way contributed greatly to the confusion, both for me and, I believe, for others. Since the data were not directly comparable with the JHU data, they always contributed, in my opinion, to hiding the effectiveness of his method. What he was doing was never well-known. Furthermore, at the time, no one knew (perhaps D. Raoult did...) what is clearer today: that the JHU did not present real daily data, but only presented gradually adjusted models of infection rates, fatality rates, intensive care admissions, tests performed, and then vaccinations administered. The JHU did not present and has never presented continuous, real-time data. Perhaps, knowing this at the time, Raoult's data would have appeared more convincing.

D. Raoult continued for more than a year, I think, overlapping with the vaccines for a short period, as I recall.

Then I remember he received a visit from President Macron, and after that, everything they were doing at the Mediterranean Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Marseille slowly lost more and more visibility.

D. Raoult certainly knew things that shouldn't have been known, but I never saw him fight back in a visible and public way, claiming that he was being censored. At least, I, who am not French, never saw a truly explosive case arise. I also tried to get the opinions of relatives I have in Marseille, but in that period of widespread fear, it was difficult to get balanced opinions. In any case, I didn't get a clear impression of what he was doing in Marseille. Perhaps, as has happened in many places, the Covid machine was working and reducing everything to talk and a total lack of action (a bit like now).

I believe he knew full well that if he had done so, they wouldn't have allowed him even the few months of activity he did.

D. Raoult finally appeared as someone who was trying to do well but I could say with more than one eye on his career, that is, it seems to me that he had learned a long time ago to swim among the sharks without getting too hurt.

Prior to reading this I was only somewhat familiar with Dr. Raoult's work and his long track record of excellence in microbiological science & research. Thankfully such giants as he still exist in the world, though they are few indeed. Thank you for sharing this John, Dr. Didier Raoult is a great champion for humanity who deserves to be honored at the very highest level around the globe.

When President Trump mentioned first that other medication could be better than vaccines (or as we waited for one), and then followed with recommending HCQ, and leading by example that masks where not needed (or required), there had only been about 36 alleged Cv-19 deaths.

During covid, Trump officially ordered hydroxychloroquine stockpiled for every American, but a high ranking official at HHS kept it from being distributed.

I doubt it. Am I the only one with asthma? It nearly killed me!

Other readers might be interested in the buried history of HCQ's possibly earliest walk-on for the Great American Covid Drama. In NYPost in April 2020 was an article about James Cai, who attended a medical meeting in Hudson Valley in early March and shortly became sick . . . and sicker. He finally went to hospital in Hackensack, where puzzled doctors actually LISTENED when his wife got word from family that the Chinese were treating covid with HCQ. Cai recovered! I looked for the Great Covid Breakthrough drama in the media, but the stage went dark, and the rest is sadly known to us all.

Raoult's fine reputation, excellent work, and strict integrity had no place in the COVID-Lockstep drill, so he was publicly disparaged, ignored and attacked with false medical data.

Thise of us at lower levels of brilliance got our own appropriate doses of shunning and being fired, as my other intellectual-superiors, Dr. Nass, Dr. McCullough and Dr. Kory also know.

RLM's avatar

I read Raoult's study at the time and wait for a grateful world to rejoice. Instead, he was punished like, apparently, all covid truth-tellers, HCQ was taken off the OTC market and made a prescription drug. Pfizer apparently rules the planet, still today. When are MAHA adherents going to make a big fuss about the menacing CEO, Albert Bourla?

EXCELLENT...THANK YOU

John,

" Professor Didier Raoult is sometimes referred to in the French press as “Gandalf of Marseille” because of his resemblance to the famous wizard in The Lord of the Rings. "

This brought to my mind a picture of Didier standing in the middle of a walkway bridge across a deep chasm. Opposite to him was an approaching oversized virion, a coronavirus, faintly illuminated red, but with smoldering smoke coming off of it.

In Didier's hand is a staff, shaped vaguely as a DNA chain, with a bottle of hydroxychloroquine as the cap of the staff, and Didier slams the bottom of the staff against the ground, shouting to the coronaviral monstrosity:

" You shall not pass!!! "

Dr Zelenko historic letter dated "March 23, 2020" "To all medical professionals around the world:" referenced the work of Professor Didier Raoult with Hydroxychloroquine

link to The Historic Zelenko Letter here - https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1SesxgaPnpT6OfCYuaFSwXzDK4cDKMbivoALprcVFj48/mobilebasic?usp=gmail&urp=gmail_link&pli=1

Dr. Zelenko, before his passing, clinically demonstrated nebulization of HCQ for the treatment of people sick with covid (etc). You can make Hydroxychloroquine nebulizer solution at home.

Cut to the chase - Hydroxychloroquine administration for most treatment of covid (etc) IS BEST DONE VIA NEBULIZATION for exceptionally rapid effect bringing high levels of HCQ to the target areas with very little systemic absorption hence with very little to no systemic side effects. HCQ pills can also be taken if systemic distribution is also sought.

David E. Scheim, PhD did the gumshoe work working out the details showing doses , amount absorbed , lung tissue concentrations which show that 1 or 2 or so many HCQ pills can be simply converted to HCQ nebulization solution, at home, then nebulized to rapidly achieve the the same lung tissue concentrations as many more pills taken over numbers of days. .

I will reply posting links to and excerpts from the Zelenko and Scheim nebulization of Hydroxychloroquine references if requested.

My "make it at home" takeaway from the references - dissolve, or crush and dissolve, 1 standard 200 mg pill of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (it contains 150mg or 155 mg of pure hydroxychloroquine) in 3 mL of distilled water in a small glass container - if it does not all completely dissolve (fillers in the pill?) it is probably a good practice to use a syringe mounted filter to filter particles that could clog the nebulizer. (or any type of filter such as a paper coffee filter in a pinch). then either (Zelenko) add 3 mL sterile isotonic saline or (Scheim) add 5 mL sterile isotonic saline then place the glass container containing the one jet nebulizer cup's fill worth of solution in boiling water for 10 minutes to sterilize the jar and solution. 1 or 2 or 3 pills is a full course of treatment. ~3 pills worth of solution (and you actually inhale less than 1/4 of solution) reaches the lung concentration almost immediately that it takes 3 pills taken per day for 8 days , the largest / longest HCQ common dosing, to finally achieve. 3 x 8 - 24 pills note: from Zelenko's initial protocol "Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days" (10 pills over 5 days)

More water can certainly be used to initially dissolve the pill if needed and then a measured bit of salt added to make it easier on the lungs and then this larger volume 1 pill dose nebulized or a 2 or 3 pill larger volume dose prepared and nebulized over time

I'm glad you included a write-up about Raoult in your new book and here. During COVID, I could not understand why that protocol was not being covered more broadly. I took hydroxychloroquine prophylactically. I hope you will do a write-up about Dr Estella Immanuel from Texas, who was using the same protocol to treat covid. She risked her reputation when she stood in Washington DC and boldly told the world that there is a cure for covid 19, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

Doctor Raoult’s report on HCQ was known about at the beginning of the COVID Scamdemic. I saw it online. Then it was removed from the literature.
