I’ve been following this site every day and watching the number of treated patients go up with only that very first death showing up. None since then.
The New England Journal of Medicine, or NEJM, has had a long reputation since it’s inception long, LONG, ago for ironclad integrity. They have had an editorial policy since Day #1. They ONLY publish original work. I had a “friend” w ho published work previously published in the NEJM and they made the editorial comment they broke their own policy because “it’s important”. AFAIK that is the ONLY time they have ever done that. Sure, their recent. Libtard obsession with gun contro has hurt their reputation but not much.
Raoult’s work is unquestioningly “original”. The editors of the NEJM clearly would have an understanding of the importance of this paper. When the NEJM endorses this work we can know what it’s worth. Information this important should get action from the editorial staff at NEJM by this afternoon. Once they sign on Raoult is golden.
