Doctor epidemiologist, Martin Blachier has become a star of television sets since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. From news channels to talk shows, it is difficult to miss the one who has made a name for himself as one of the specialists in the health crisis. Accustomed to questions from journalists, the doctor has a bad memory of a single broadcast: Day-to-day.
In an interview with Gala, Martin Blachier reveals that he did not appreciate his appearance in Yann Barthès’ program. “I only had one bad experience, it was with the teams of Day-to-day. They came here and were rude and rude,” he says.
Asked about his media omnipresence
Last April, journalist Sophie Dupont notably questioned the doctor about his media omnipresence and pointed out his lack of humility: “Basically, he’s the best and the others are useless”, had launched the columnist on April 29, 2021 in the preamble to a subject called “Martin Blachier, doctor or CEO in an advertising campaign? »
While the report, Sophie Dupont had asked Martin Blachier to respond to those who argued that he was taking advantage of his presence on the various channels in order to publicize the Public Health Expertise company of which he is the boss. “When you are on a TV set, you are a bit like the sales representative of your box”, launched the journalist from Day-to-day facing the doctor.
” Not at all. I may be the VRP of myself. Maybe I’m a narcissist who likes to be talked about, you can tell. But in no case am I the VRP of my box, ”replied Martin Blachier. This “bad experience” did not taint his desire to participate in many shows. This Friday, the doctor was on the set of Do not touch My TV alongside Fabrice Di Vizio to address the issue of childhood vaccination.
