Viral video showing doctors making false and misleading statements about the coronavirus they shared through TrumpDonald’s John Trump The teachers union is launching the purchase of 0K ads asking for an investment in relief bill education The FDA leader is committed to ” we will not make cuts ‘in the coronavirus vaccine Let’s let our values lead COVID protection responsibility -19 MORE has been eliminated through FacebookArray Twitter and YouTube this week.
The video, which was published through the right-wing Breitbart News, shows other people dressed in white robes at a press convention in the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. The group, who calls itself “America’s Frontline Doctors,” declares that it “doesn’t want masks “to prevent it from spreading COVID-19 and claims that studies that seem to indicate that hydroxychloroquine is useless to treat the disease are ‘fake science’ and are sponsored by fake pharmaceutical companies” , according to CNN.
A doctor in the video mistakenly claims that “hydroxychloroquine, zinc and zitromax” is a cure for coronavirus and says other people don’t want to wear a mask.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has asked all Americans to wear face masks and face coverings in public to stop the pandemic.
Several studies have also shown that hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, is not effective in treating COVID-19 and can cause side effects, such as abnormal heartbeats. An examination published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the drug did not have the results of 667 COVID-19 patients who participated in a trial at 55 Brazilian hospitals.
Last month, the Food and Drug Administration revoked an emergency approval that allowed doctors to prescribe hydroxychloroquine to coVID-19 patients in outdoor clinical trials, even if the remedy was unproven.
The video also says we “don’t want to be locked up,” according to the Washington Post.
Trump, who has continually promoted hydroxychloroquine, shared editions of the video on Twitter Monday night. Later, his tweets were removed from the social media site, as an edition of the video shared through Donald Trump Jr. Twitter temporarily limited Donald Trump Jr.’s account, blocking his ability to tweet or retweet for 12 hours.
“The fact that Twitter postpones Don Jr. for sharing a viral video of fitness professionals discussing their views on hydroxychloroquine is further evidence that Big Tech intends to end lax speeches online and is another example of those acts of election interference to quell Republican spokes,” Andy Surabian , told a spokesman for Donald Trump Jr.Array to The Hill. A Twitter spokesman told The Hill that tweets with the video “violate our COVID-19 disinformation policy.”
The video went viral on Facebook on Monday night, getting 14 million perspectives before being removed. It’s been shared about 600,000 times, CNN reported.
“We deleted this video by sharing false data about remedies and remedies for COVID-19,” Andy Stone, Facebook’s director of political communications, told The Hill.
The video was also viewed on YouTube more than 40,000 times before the site deleted it.
“We’ve removed the video for violating our COVID-19 misinformation policies,” said a YouTube spokesman, The Hill.
The United States has shown more than 4.3 million coronaviruses and 148,450 deaths amid the existing pandemic.
