The French official agency for medications, that depends directly on France’s Health Minister Véran, has refused to temporary use approval for hydroxychloroquine to the Marseille University Hospital, headed by Professor Didier Raoult.
According to the October 23 communiqué, “To date, the available data, which are very heterogeneous and uneven, do not allow us to predict a benefit from hydroxychloroquine, alone or in combination, for the treatment or prevention of Covid-19 disease. In this context and in view of the available safety data showing increased risks, in particular cardiovascular risks, it cannot be assumed that hydroxychloroquine has a favorable risk / benefit ratio regardless of its context of use.”
The agency thereby rejects the validity of the several studies conducted by IHU Marseille, on thousands of patients, having demonstrated reduced mortality and reduced need for hospitalization (most patients were treated as outpatients).
This is the next chapter in the battle between Health Minister Olivier Véran and IHU-Marseille Professeur Didier Raoult. Minister Véran had already used the fraudulent Lancet publication by Mehra et al to further restrict the use of hydroxychloroquine in France.
Professor Raoult reacted by deploring the situation and stressing that the same agency is promoting Remdesivir, a medication proven by the WHO Solidarity clinical trials to be of no benefit for COVID-19.
Renaud Muselier, the President of the South Region, and President of the Regions of France, and former Minister, reacted to the news, stressing the decision was in direct contradiction with the very principles of medicine and emphasized that medical doctors should be allowed to prescribe, in the best interest of their patients.
En refusant d’accorder une recommandation de hydroxychloroquine contre la #COVID19, l’@ansm va à l’encontre des principes fondamentaux de la médecine. Laissez le Professeur @raoult_didier et les médecins de l’@IHU_Marseille soigner !

There will certainly be further developments. Professor Raoult is one of the pioneers of early treatment for COVID-19. He achieved case fatality rates for his patients around 0.5% (see bottom of graph below). France achieved record case fatality rates, reaching 19.6% on May 26, and now declining with the sharp increase in testing, including of asymptomatic cases.

TRANSLATION OF COMMMUNIQUÉ (google)
ANSM publishes its decision on the request for an RTU for hydroxychloroquine in the management of Covid-19 disease – Point d’Information
We have received a request for a Temporary Use Recommendation (RTU) for hydroxychloroquine in the management of Covid-19 disease, from the IHU in Marseille. In order to assess this request, we relied on the numerous recent studies published on the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine, as well as on the latest recommendations of the High Council of Public Health (HCSP) of July 23, 2020.
To date, the available data, which are very heterogeneous and uneven, do not allow us to predict a benefit from hydroxychloroquine, alone or in combination, for the treatment or prevention of Covid-19 disease. In this context and in view of the available safety data showing increased risks, in particular cardiovascular risks, it cannot be assumed that hydroxychloroquine has a favorable risk / benefit ratio regardless of its context of use.
Therefore we cannot respond favorably to the RTU request for hydroxychloroquine in the management of Covid-19 disease.
This decision is also in line with the vast majority of international treatment recommendations. It may be revised at any time, especially if new results from clinical studies modify the findings made to date.

Big French Pharma screwing around with science. Sacre bleu!
Here comes the vaccine push, or push for alternatives that make someone big money like remdesivir
At the end of the day, governments hell-bent on total control of society, clearly view any disruptor of their global governance “strategy” and “architecture”, as an enemy to be eradicated.
In my opinion, COVID has very much been critical to creating a malleable global society.
Any working therapy, (and there are several), which eliminates fear of COVID, eliminates their long strategized global socialist governance effort.
It is not only Trump, however POTUS Trump is a huge obstacle to planned global socialist totalitarianism.
(google translation):
"Yes! You can show me all the studies you want, I have treated over 3700 patients with this drug. 0.5% mortality, no cardiac toxicity…
What more do you want? We wanted to demonize hydroxychloroquine, it's a crazy thing."
CNN is global
The French Health minister came to his conclusion with the help of Jacques Dorcie and Le Marquis de Zuckerberg.
