The Virgin Mary, the Three Kings, an ox, a donkey ... and Didier Raoult.
In a video posted on YouTube, where she sends her Christmas wishes to the French, Marine Le Pen notably exhibits a santon by the controversial infectious disease specialist in her nursery.
During the first wave of Covid-19, in the spring of 2020, the future-ex-director of the IHU Méditerranée claimed to have found the miracle cure against the epidemic, based on hydroxychloroquine.
A process highly contested by the medical profession, for lack of sufficient scientific proof.

Presidential 2022: where are the candidates in the polls?
"It is because it is criticized that I bought it"
These critics did not make her a "
non grata
doctor
" for the candidate of the National Rally.
Last November, Marine Le Pen even defended the infectious disease specialist in front of journalists, after having bought this famous santon in the Old Port of Marseille.
“It was because it was criticized that I bought it.
Unanimity against him is unfair.
I don't like lynchings.
This form of hypocrisy makes him sympathetic to me

she assured me, recalling that many Marseille residents had
“ gone to his home for treatment ”

Beyond the RN candidate, Didier Raoult has always aroused a form of empathy with the flame party. During this same trip to the Phocaean city, Senator Stéphane Ravier had nicknamed him:
“Raoultix, our druid!”
, as reported by
La Provence
. In May 2020, Jordan Bardella, then vice-president of the RN, had declared on France Inter that
"Didier Raoult, it is the sanitarily incorrect"
. Even going so far as to conclude:
"It is perhaps to medicine what we are to politics"
.
Since then, the infectious disease specialist received a reprimand on December 3.
The disciplinary chamber of the New Aquitaine Order of Physicians in fact ruled that he had notably violated Article 12 of the Code of Ethics.
This last point obliges physicians to communicate "with
caution
" to the general public and on the basis of
"
confirmed
"
scientific "
data
".
The National Council of the Order of Physicians appealed last week to demand a worsening of the sanction.
