The French doctor, Didier Raoult, who challenged the medical establishment, in recent weeks, has become popular for his
support of the anti-malarial drug for Coronavirus treatment.
Dr. Didier Raul, 68, an infectious disease expert, revealed that hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine is good for the treatment of corona patients.

French President Emmanuel Macron met him for a few
hours last week at his Marseille research institute, where he received Dr.
Raoul's tour and presentation of the latest findings of his research on the new
virus.
Corona, contrary to the opinion of its advisers, who say that the
drug's efficacy studies are still too small to prove that it is safe and
effective in treating COVID-19 patients.
In Israel, in the meantime, the Prime Minister's Office
announced that after much efforts over the weekend, 2.4 million chloroquine
pellets and many tons of raw material for self-production of the drug landed in
Israel over the weekend.
The massive purchase deal is signed by the Prime
Minister and the head of the institution, but health ministry officials say the firm is behind the recommendation to purchase the drug, so that, if proven
effective, it will have a large available stock before the global onslaught
begins,
On YouTube and Twitter, Dr. Raoul argues that doctors and
governments should use this drug extensively and not wait for serious clinical
trials. Last week, "Our goal as doctors is to improve the condition of
patients."
On the other hand, those who recommend a more cautious
approach warn that the drug, which is originally used to treat malaria and some
autoimmune diseases have so far not proven its effectiveness in the treatment
of COVID-19.
From generation to generation, people have been witnessing the denial of recommended drugs for diseases because of politics and self-interest, therefore, it is likely that many will oppose Dr. Didier Raoult's recommendation.
Raul's firm position has earned him attention
in France. "Parry Mach" magazine has published an extensive cover
article on it.
Even state authorities have removed warnings about the use of the drug, saying it can be listed "in the most extreme cases," before serious damage to the patient's lungs

Dr. Raul says he
started using hydroxychloroquine to treat patients after seeing Chinese studies
that found the drug killed new coronavirus in the laboratory tests.
