Biography

Born as Jean-Daniel Flajszakier, he francisized his name to Flaysakier.[2] He earned a degree in medicine from the University of Tours and worked on the team which developed the first hepatitis B vaccine. He then earned a master's degree in epidemiology from Harvard University. Upon his return to France, he worked for written press, radio, and television.

From 1985 to 1991, Flaysakier was a health columnist on the Antenne 2 morning show Télématin, hosted by William Leymergie. He then became Deputy Editor-in-Chief of France 2 while simultaneously working in oncology.[3] He contributed to the popularization of medicine on television, where he worked for 33 years.[4] On 7 October 2018, he announced on his Twitter account that he would be retiring from France 2 at the end of the month.[5] He was occasionally criticized for his comments on unjustified medical acts.[6]
