in what might be a coincidence, he looks like french doc who promoted then untested hydroxychloroquine for covid (now we know it doesn't and couldn't work)

Don't know if you're joking but that is Didier Raoult (the french doctor you're talking about).

may his name be lost to history, i wasn't sure at first and he's not relevant anymore
