professor Christian Perronne said that 25 000 deaths could have been averted in France if the patients Covid-19 had been treated with the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

The doctors specialized in infectious diseases to see red against one of their colleagues. In a press release received on Tuesday by The Express, the four chairpersons of bodies that represent the profession denounce about shock doctor, professor Christian Perronne, head of department of infectious diseases at the hospital of Garches, held on BFMTV last June 17. Christian Perronne is originally in April, with the ex-minister Philippe Douste-Blazy, a petition for the easing of urgency, the possibilities of prescription of hydroxychloroquine.

The latter said on the news channel continuously if treatment with hydroxychloroquine had been applied to all patients with Covid-19, “we would have been able to avoid the 25 000 dead”. He justifies this figure by comparing with the other countries that have used the chloroquine” against the virus.

He added that if the chloroquine has not been prescribed massively, it is to satisfy “the interests of pharmaceutical companies who wanted to promote other molecules and unfortunately, many of my colleagues have touched a lot of money from these laboratories, it saddens me but it is the reality,” he adds.

enough To trigger the ire of his peers who denounce the “unfounded assertions which have been broadcast on radio and tv-national tv over the last few days” and that “are all the more serious that they are the work of a doctor, head of department in a hospital.”

“The words are serious, because they pass for ‘criminals’ to the physicians who rely on data science to treat their patients, while seeking to impose a set of treatments likely to be ineffective […] What should remain a scientific controversy is focused on the media scene through about unfounded scientifically and accusations slanderous. This return to empiricism would represent a major step in modern medicine, a return to the medicine of the middle ages.”, they add.

No evidence of effectiveness of chloroquine

They support their statements by citing “the solid evidence available to date” on the chloroquine, according to which, “the prescription of hydroxychloroquine to patients with by the Covid-19 has not made the proof of its effectiveness”, and “the rigorous studies carried out by teams without a priori, at the international level, all have concluded on the absence of profit, while the risk of death linked to bad use is perfectly turned out.”

Touted by the us president Donald Trump and the French researcher controversial Didier Raoult, this treatment has not confirmed the hopes placed in him, quite the contrary. In early June, the clinical trial british Recovery has found that hydroxychloroquine had no beneficial effect against the Covid-19. This observation led to Monday the u.s. health authorities to withdraw authorisation for use in emergency hydroxychloroquine against the Covid-19 (as well as chloroquine). Then on Wednesday, the WHO (world health Organization) announced that it would stop clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine. The prescription of chloroquine for a patient with the virus is also not recommended by the european medicines Agency.

“Our commitment, that of the overwhelming majority of doctors since the beginning of the health crisis, has always been to take care of the best patients, respecting the state of the science and knowledge based on evidence, in compliance with the code of medical ethics, argue even the doctors. Neither improvisation nor the marketing media are bet in this fight against an infectious agent emerging, yet unknown a few months ago.”
