And my point is the work done by physicians who have been in practice for decades should not simply be discarded as if they are nothing. Not Not if these doctors have used it on hundreds of their patients.
Then let them publish the evidence that supports their claims! So far they haven’t done it.
When “these doctors” are doing things that have long been held by other doctors as unethical for the very reasons we are now embroiled in, yes, their work should be reviewed with a “little skepticism”. It would seem their ACTUAL peers are a little concerned as well, I don’t see a one of these people rushing to support Dr Raoult.

But what I DO see is Dr Raoult’s work was first listed as “submitted for review by the IJAA” and then subsequently after getting a Rejection Notice he, it seems, has now gone on to publish in some “Travel Advisory” Journal. Resubmitting the same work to a lesser Journal is not a sign of “great work”. Correcting the Deficinecies and resubmitting it to the original Journal are the “usual” and by not going public no one notices.
