Gilead, the pharmaceutical company working to get a drug
called remdesivir approved to treat COVID-19, allegedly sent death threats to a
French doctor who claimed he cured COVID-19 with a combination of
hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
Dr. Didier Raoult made the allegation under oath in
testimony before the French Parliament. The testimony was part of an official
review that ensued after Raoult filed a complaint with the French judiciary on
the death threats.
In other news in June, the U.S. FDA issued a warning that
co-administration of remdesivir with hydroxychloroquine can reduce the
effectiveness of the viral activity of the remdesivir.
