According to Marc-Olivier Fogiel, it was upon discovering that the latter had had two little girls born by GPA that Prof. Raoult would have decided, being himself in favor, we guess in the journalist's testimony: " He said to me, 'Do you know why I came? (…) I don't know you (…) I 'googlized' (…) you have two little girls by surrogacy (…) I find that it takes courage in the face of a system that is opposed to it when you are in the media , to ultimately break the rules. You did it. Then, surrogacy finally is life, it was the force of life, and me as a doctor, that's what drives me. '”
Marc-Olivier Fogiel indicates that the Marseille professor came to the channel three times, after he “ harassed ” him. “ I came because I was sick of it, ” Raoult would also have slipped.
