Jean Paul Mira, the French doctor who alongside his colleague Camille Locht asked for a new Coronavirus drug to be tested in Africa, has apologized after their statement triggered an international outrage.
The dcotors were discussing about a "repurposed" tuberculosis vaccine as a COVID-19 beater during an expert chat on television, when the suggestion was made.
Mira, who is the intensive care unit (ICU) head at the Cochin hospital in Paris has now apologized for his comment.
In a statement released on Friday April 3, Mira's employer, the Paris network of hospitals quoted him as saying:
"I want to present all my apologies to those who were hurt, shocked and felt insulted by the remarks that I clumsily expressed on LCI this week."
