For many weeks, the debate has raged around the effectiveness of chloroquine treatment to treat individuals affected by Covid-19. Several scientists have expressed their concerns about the methods chosen by the study published in The Lancet. The experiment, conducted on 96,000 patients hospitalized between December 2019 and April 2020, concluded that hydroxychloroquine did not seem to have any beneficial effects on infected patients. Conclusions challenged by Professor Raoult but used by Olivier Véran to ban treatments that used this drug. Invited May 29, 2020 on LCI, Olivier Mazerolle said he accepted this treatment to fight the disease. Infected with the virus, the journalist accepts his choice and also compares his case with that of Bernard Tapie.
Bernard Tapie travels to Belgium to try to cure his double cancer
"Bernard Tapie has last-degree cancer. He knows full well that if he is not treated, he will die. He says: 'I have been informed of a treatment, which is not known to be truly effective. But there may be a chance that it is, so I agree that it should be experienced on me '", explains Olivier Mazerolle. "In France, he cannot, that's why he goes twice a month to Belgium, where we authorize this kind of experimentation with a patient who is fully aware of the situation, of course.. ", he continues.
Bernard Tapie, who suffered from double stomach and esophageal cancer, already mentioned this experimental treatment in January 2020. "The laboratories were looking for a product, a method … They finally found, about a month ago and therefore I'm in the middle of an experiment. That is to say that I am a guinea pig", he said. "There are three stages, here I am in the second. If the third brings sufficient results, the product is then placed on the market. Which is not currently the case. ", he said, determined to lead this fight with strength and honor.
