Enter the government of France.

In response to online memes saying cocaine is a COVID-19 cure, France's Ministry of Solidarity and Health shared the tweet below which translates to, "No, cocaine does NOT protect against #COVID-19. It is an addictive drug causing serious adverse effects and harmful to the health of people."
