"

We are not going to offer the population to live in complete isolation for the rest of the history of humanity!"

(...) It's better not to confine

(people)

, we're going to drive everyone crazy!

Didier Raoult justified his words by explaining that he “does not

see any synchronization between social decisions and the evolution of the epidemic.

"

It cannot be said

(that the measures taken have)

played a role in controlling the epidemic,

" he said.

According to data transmitted by the Ministry of Health, the number of deceased patients, arriving in intensive care or simply hospitalized, has however fallen during periods of confinement.

The director of the Mediterranean Infection University Hospital Institute also considered that the government measures responded to a "

disproportionate emotion

".

The curve of patients admitted to intensive care.

"Obese society"

Two factors

” explain the current figures, according to Didier Raoult: first, “

obesity.

We live in an obese society (...) the real point of struggle is against obesity and the consumption of sugary drinks

, ”insisted the professor.

Then, "

age

": "

The current mortality is 81 years of average age.

(The Covid) is

not going to change life expectancy.

"In its latest report, INSEE explains, however, that the pandemic caused the loss of 0.4 years of life expectancy for women and 0.5 years for men in 2020."

If I look at people who are under 65 years old , either they died with the Covid and not the Covid, or they had associated risk factors, such as metastasized cancers

, ”says Didier Raoult.

Asked about the variants, the infectious disease specialist wanted to tackle “

the people of the Scientific Council, from the world of AIDS, who must know that viruses mutate.

A virus is alive, it adapts, it tries to multiply (...) It's astonishing that they forgot this fundamental notion.

Will current vaccines still be effective?

From a scientific standpoint, it is more dangerous to make a vaccine on a single peptide than on the whole virus

(the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines target the Spike molecule, which clings to the cells of the organism, Editor's note

).

The choices that have been made are ultra-scientific.

They are not empirical.

The vaccine that was chosen is a hypertechnical vaccine, made under conditions of velocity frankly not usual

Didier Raoult finally calls for "

people to live

" and "

to take care of them

".

“In

time, we will write the history of this disease saying, '

Back

then, they were crazy.

Instead of treating people, they would tell them to stay at home without taking care of themselves, and this is one of the strangest things in the history of modern countries.
