French professor free to harass hydroxychloroquine critics online

The hydroxychloroquine issue has gone completely out of control since Trump recommended it, but presenting it as a "French invention" is inaccurate, as a large number of studies, if not the majority, originate from other countries, such as the US and even Iran. Without condoning any irrational or aggressive behavior such as the one reported, we should beware of any manichaesim in reporting. Dr Bik's actions thread a difficult line between research ethics and vigilante behavior, when they are attacking the entire track record of Prof Raoult. There is a feeling of double standards when comparing to the very limited actions taken after the Lancetgate.
