Professor Pierre-Edouard Fournier will replace the controversial Didier Raoult at the head of the IHU Méditerranée Infection, the IHU announced on Wednesday July 13. This appointment is not a surprise. As franceinfo explained, a scientific committee had recommended this researcher who had already been part of the IHU for a long time. But this choice has been criticized, both internally and externally, as not marking a sufficient break with the practices of its predecessor. Despite the reservations, the administrators validated the choice of a commission specially set up for this succession and chaired by the former boss of Renault, Louis Schweitzer.
