Accusations of falsified images, and legal threats

On May 5, 2021, Elisabeth Bik (who specializes in identifying manipulated images in scientific papers) raised concerns about dozens of Raoult's papers—including ethical, procedural, and methodological problems in a March 2020 paper reporting success in a small hydroxychloroquine trial. Raoult's lawyer subsequently announced that Raoult was accusing and suing a scientific integrity consultant of harassment and blackmail.[1] The French non profit association Citizen4Science, formed by scientists and citizens, published a press release and a petition that day, denouncing the harassment of scientists and defenders of science integrity,[2] specifically defending Bik and calling on French authorities to intervene and for journalists to look into the matter. Several French newspapers immediately reported Citizen4Science's initiative.[3][4][5][6] The petition was signed by thousands of scientists and citizens throughout the world. By May 22, 2021 that Raoult had begun legal proceedings against Bik[7] this was followed by various articles in international mainstream medias[8] and an article in Science updated on June 4, 2021 at the occasion of the print issue 6546, stating >3,000 signatories for Citizen4Science petition.[9]

On May 18, 2021, Lonni Besançon, a French postdoctoral research fellow at Monash University, wrote an open letter to support Elisabeth Bik.[10] The letter was co-signed by more than 2200 scientists and 30 scholarly societies.[11]

On June 1, 2021, CNRS published a press release[12] denouncing the "judiciarization of controversy and scientific debates", condemning Raoult's legal proceedings against Elisabeth Bik. On June 10, 2021 French Senator Bernard Jomier carried the Citizen4Science press release and petition to the French Senate through a written question to French Minister of Health Olivier Véran, requiring action to protect bearers of science integrity.[13]
