Doctor now outed as a fraud tried to convince people that being fat was good for heart disease Mandeep R. Mehra is the primary author of both studies which claimed HCQ lead to more deaths.  This studies were based on completely fake data.  It also likely lead to many deaths because the study caused the WHO and other organizations to stop studying HCQ.  According to this article, "Mehra has been instrumental in defining the “obesity paradox” — a line of research that claims it might be healthier to be overweight — in heart failure".  So one of the most fraudulent doctors in recent memory is also a supporter of HAES.  Go figure.  I'm sure fat people are good for his heart transplant business.
