There's a ridiculous controversy in France about this guy. Lots of French people see him as the misunderstood genius that could save us from the virus, if it weren't for our evil government (obviously sold to the pharmaceutical companies). We even have celebrities (actors, rappers, humorists...) begging the president to listen to this doctor. We reached the point where we trust "celebrities" more than the scientists leading the effort to fight the pandemics.
