      You must check your own political bias, Pete. Never try to paint the absolutely false picture that Trump led media to promote Hydroxychloroquine against Covid. Just _because_ he (among so many others, experts and non-experts) talked optimistically about it, the media immediately began to trash him for that, as they did with exactly everything he ever said. If Hillary Clinton had talked favourably about Hydroxychloroquine, nobody should care.

    Hello from France.
    I think the reason Raoult got so popular in the beginning of covid is that he was going against the alarmism of the media, comparing covid 19 to the H1N1 pandemic which was treated in the media as an apocalyptical threat to the human race but died off within a year with millions upon millions of euros misspent. He was also vocal against the lockdown which was definitely not a popular measure.
    Meanwhile the government was busy messing up at every corner. For example since H1N1, France built up a facemask reserve for future threats, but most of if was given away to china in the early days of covid, creating an artificial shortage. The prime minister at the time claimed on national TV that facemasks were of no use against covid weeks before enforcing mandatory wearing of said masks everywhere. With the price of facemasks skyrocketing It created a financial burden on the poorest among the population while fueling mistrust and complotists theories. There were also multiple instances of publicly funded large feast held by government officials for their peers with a complete disregard for rules enforced on everyone else.
    Thankfully we have a large community of skeptics doing the work the media should be required to do.

      Not including children in clinical research is just practical. You need to get "informed consent" from the parents, and unless there is an immediate danger, the parents will refuse. Parents who consent would be a pre selected group. Just saying from the view of a retired pediatrician who worked in academic settings and also was on the hospital ethics committee, which is responsible for approving clinical studies. As for the randomized, double blinded, prospective studies, it's true that not all studies can be conducted this way, but if you are not an idiot, you know that you are conducting a seriously flawed study and the result of your study should be used to determine future studies, not change your clinicalapproach. You would be a fool to change your clinical approach based on such a study. The exception being if you don't have anything better to offer and even then, you should do it only temporarily until you can actually conduct a "good" study.

    Hello from France as well,
    Didier Raoult had a huge amount of criticism right from the start.
    It was well known that his big fan club was in Marseilles because he was the local chap making their town look like a center of medical authority. He got a lot of mockery from a few comedians on TV. President Macron went down to see him, giving him the benefit of the doubt and was quite criticised for this. Like many people he seemed to be thinking "Maybe he's right after all, even if it's not very scientific".
    Then it became known how Raoult was very authoritarian in his institute. He was on non-speaking terms with his own daughter who said her father could not stand being contradicted.
    At some point, even before his retirement his reputation started going south.

    In my experience, it’s difficult and expensive to conduct clinical trials. All humans are biased and even a good health care provider can subconsciously affect which patients are enrolled in clinical trials. In addition to patients meeting the inclusion criteria, the records of those not enrolled must also be reviewed to ensure that patients who are more difficult to treat are not being subtly encouraged to not enroll. Double blinded randomized clinical trials are best but even they need diligent monitoring.

Just one question about IHU: doesn't this term describe a _kind_ of research hospital rather than one hospital/institute in particular? IHU means hospital-university institute, where a regular hospital is partnered with a university and students are placed there, as interns for example. As far as I can tell Raoult was linked to IHU Méditerranée in Marseille, but that's it. Other IHUs have nothing to do with him.

Many researchers expressed frustration that they could not get papers published because of the biases of big Pharma.

    I’m french and I was never a fan of Raoult just because he is so arrogant. He was wrong on the hydroxy stuff and he should have just took the L on that one BUT nevertheless I have 2 positive things to say about him:
    - He explained on his UA-cam channel and on TV that in general, viruses become less lethal with time but more transmissible (the evolutionary explanation he gave was that for a virus to survive it needs to spread more but kill less), that’s something « experts » on TV didn’t say a word about when he was saying so from the get go. Of course nobody wanted to talk about that since it would add another variable to the declining death rate situation that was explained only by the « vax ». Of course his prediction was validated by the different variants.
    - the second thing he did was refusing the orders from the government to stop treating patients and asking them to go home until they are really sick. The IHU in Marseille continued receiving patients, treating the symptoms before the infections got out of hand. In other hospitals they were following orders from bureaucrats who don’t know a thing about medicine and were refusing patients and only accepting them when they were on death’s door!
    So yes I don’t like Raoult but it wouldn’t be fair to only talk about the bad things he did.
    Another point: you said Elisabeth discovered the study was not randomised, well, wasn’t it in the title of the study ?! Again I don’t like the guy but you should have read what he said about the subject, that’s the ABC of journalism: according to him, when you are in a pandemic you don’t have the luxury to do everything by the book, you publish whatever you have to see if others see similar patterns.
    And by the way, Elisabeth was not the first to spot the problems with his article, it was a french/moroccan researcher who made couple of days after the publication a video on UA-cam showing everything that is wrong the methodology including the 6 excluded patients.
    Here is a video proposition for you, look in youtube for this video: “researcher blows the whistle ventavia” from the channel “The BMJ”

      For your first point, this is something I learned in biology classes in university, it's not like a well-kept secret or anything, but most importantly it is not certain to happen. Mutations are random, once they happen yes there is an evolutionnary advantage to the less lethal - more contagious ones but you don't know when and where these mutations will emerge, if they ever do. So it is not something you can just count on and not take any course of action. Besides that, you think epidemiologists didn't take into account the lethality of new variants to estimate vaccines efficacy ?
      Last point, randomisation could be as easy as flipping a coin. Not randomising + excluding patients from the analysis was a blatant fraud to get the results they wanted.

    It seems like the various COVID trails are all looking even more dodgy than the usual state of clinical trials. The incentive structure seems a much bigger issue than individual trails in this area.

      A widely hailed study which purports to show that heart problems, blood clots, and other maladies caused by COVID vaccines are “rare,” is based on data that the authors say they cannot “share” contrary to bedrock principles of science. Established norms requires that data be made freely available to other researchers in order for the data to be validated and used to reproduce the results.

    1. Randomized trials are not necessary for every conclusion. I don't need to make a randomized trial about the safety of parachutes
    2. Shady practices about COVID were found everywhere, since everyone wanted to have the answer for the pandemic. I say this for the conclusions about HCQ and vaccines
    3. 100 years ago there was a scientific conclusion that doctors did not need to wash their hands to deal with pregnant women and a physician who said this practice would decrease infections on these women lost his practice license. Also lobotomy was defended as scientific proved for 60 years (and renditioned a Nobel Prize). Research on health is not black or white, but shades of gray and sometimes people are called "shady" because they don't go with the stablishment
    4. There is a principle in the scientific field in which a conclusion must be contextualized. There's plenty of articles talking about HCQ not being useful against COVID, nonetheless all of these conclusions are made about the stages in which the disease has already developed to the point of hospitalization. HCQ was never recommended for hospitalized people, but when the first symptoms showed up. I think this contextualization is important
    5. One of the studies that showed HCQ did more harm than good with COVID patients was conducted here in Brazil and the methodology was, at least, weird. The dose of HCQ was higher than the recommended worldwide for any disease and the justification was that it should be because COVID was more deadly so they needed more (even deadly) doses. Also the study was conducted on hospitalized patients
    Before you accuse me of anything, just understand that I'm pointing out the issues not addressed in the video, not the claims that Raoult did scientific malpractice. I'm actually using the same arguments Judo used to stimilate critical thinking about any conclusion, not only the ones we don't want to have. There's tons of evidence of the issues of COVID vaccinations, for example, and people defending cheaper alternatives are being called antivaxxers. Astrazeneca's vaccine was banned in more than 5 countries before 1 year of application because of cardiologic problems found after its application, Pfizer's business was shady in lots of countries even demanding that if they did harm intentionally they wouldn't be charged and Moderna said that their studies did not test effectiveness for stopping the spread of the virus.
    I am not an antivaxxer, if you will to accuse me of such. What I am is skeptical of any conclusion without proper contextualization. Also I'm not saying that Raoult did not commit fraud, since if there's evidence he did then he probably did it and this has to be addressed. So this is not to say Judo is wrong, but to say that context is more important in health fields than conclusions

Unlike the IHU companies like Pfizer can avoid most scrutiny because their drugs are proprietary. It’s well known many companies test drugs in Africa for example (not all drugs) and most of it is extremely shady. It’s done precisely because there are low or no standards. I’m not saying we should allow this cowboy research by the IHU - I just question how valid and ethical research into the early vaccines was. At least France has more ethical codes than the US does.

Certainly, we need to respond to it and make sure it doesn't happen again. However, the fact that it happened is not surprising. The reason this unethical researcher ended up under a microscope is only because of the news coverage around the treatment.
    I would love to have seen the studies done correctly the first time. It's a shame they were not handled well. Something which had at least some promise at the time could have been properly tested and the anger machine avoided.

It could be true, it could be false, we may know in the within the next 5 years.
      Moreover, the definition of a "vax" has certain specifications that are not met by "a prophylactic", yet we use the former term, not the latter.
      This has the added benefit of labeling "people questioning the prophylactic" as anti-vaxxers, which is already a nut-job conspiracy group, who got started from a peer-reviewed (iirc) scientific publication that has since been retracted.

    The hydroxychloroquine / erythromycin paper was pretty poor. My recollection from when it came out was that patients with heart problems were moved from the combination group, but not the other groups. So it was no surprise that the healthier combination group appeared to have better clinical outcomes. This was bad experimental design, and should have been picked up in peer-review.
    I am a bit concerned about the response to the paper though. Release any controversial result, and by all means that paper should be scrutinized more closely. But having people pour all over your previous unrelated papers looking for any sort of statistical anomalies (which is complained about as p-hacking in papers that you wish to criticise) seems to me to be a form of group harassment.

      Science is supposed to work by having your work reviewed as you are publishing. You know, peer review. Not by angry mob.
      Not everybody has all of their previous works reviewed and publicly criticised. This is special treatment, which causes additional stress to the recipient. You don't seem to be a very empathic person, so I guess you'll never understand that unless it happens to you.
      So what do you mean by "bad work"? If you are referring to plagiarism and falsification of data, then I'm 100% with you. Audit that sucker. This is because the intent was to deceive, and this could easily have been missed in the peer review of the previous papers.
      The problem with this paper does not appear to have been intentional. It was sloppy experimental design. I'm not in medicine, but I see sloppy experimental design in maybe 50% of the papers I have to review (I just reject them instead of hounding them to the end of the earth). This one just happened to get through peer review.
      My argument is that if you are going to choose this as a threshold for holding an inquisition, why not do this for every paper with poor experimental design?

They used a blanket ethics approval for covering human sample collection and analysis. It's the same collection procedure regardless of study, so again why is this a problem? What seemed to be absent was any allegation of fraudulent data, despite copious analysis.
      "because that's how we get people trying to fake elements and millions of dollars wasted on fake blood machines and Alzheimer's plaques."
      You get that from fakery, not from being incorrect. If they had wanted to fake the data, they could just as easily have said they were using a randomized trial when they were not. The fact they said they weren't suggests they were not trying to hide anything.
      "It is not harassment to check someone's work to make sure they aren't hurting people. Get a grip"
      That's true. What I would consider harassment is publicly making allegations of fakery based on methodology that might be just as bad as those in the paper that initiated the investigation.
      In summary, I do not think that this video did a good job of outlining specific reasons for thinking the paper's author should be publicly excoriated. For me, just being unintentionally wrong is not a big enough reason. I saw no evidence of intent to falsify anything, or any damning wrong-doing.

    Once you start going down the COVID road you must admit that UA-cam will censor anything that doesn't come to a certain conclusion. This is not to say your video is incorrect. Just that if you stay in the area of COVID (and vaccines in general) then I have to assume you are not presenting both sides equally because there is a financial conflict of interest for you.

    I am not a doctor nor a scientist but if we are talking about *ethics* then I believe it's unethical to attempt to conduct randomized control trails during a pandemic. It would mean that someone who was confirmed to have Covid-19 would have received a placebo and quite possibly die as a result. All for the sake of unbiased data. I also (again i am not a doctor nor scientist (however Dr. Bill Nye says anyone who has an interest in science is a scientist but I'll just let that one go for now) believe that the sooner one takes a " treatment" be it antiviral or antibiotic the better. I noticed that during the pandemic the "Gold Standard" for whether a "treatment" was successful or now was if the patient got better even after they had progressed to a very ill state. I believe what Dr. Raoul was trying to demonstrate was if the "treatment" was given ASAP then the chances of the virus being able to replicate freely was markedly reduced.

    • @qRT-PCR
      @qRT-PCR Місяць тому

      And what about the patient that did receive the treatment and died because of that treatment? That is even more unethical to push drugs to clinical trials when you know that these drugs did not even make it in the pre-clinical trials. You have no idea how important unbiased data is in medicine. This whole hydro thing with Raoult is exactly why unbiased data is important. These trials are not cheap, they use taxpayers’ money. Why waste taxpayers money on experiments that are biased and could easily be disproven within less than 5 years? Why waste taxpayers’ money on bad science that might negatively affect taxpayers’ health, especially in the long term? This is even more unethical than giving covid patients a placebo.
