    PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION
    Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Remove Video of Doctors Who Support Hydroxychloroquine

    Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube removed videos of a press conference on July 27 held by a group of doctors, citing violation of their policies. Members of the group, called “America’s Frontline Doctors,” had spoken in support of the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine in treating and preventing COVID-19, and alleged that there’s widespread misinformation about the drug.

    At the press conference in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, the group also called for a “sustainable approach” to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, urging for an opening up of schools and businesses.

    Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube removed the 45-minute video of the press conference several hours after it was shared to the platforms and had gained millions of views, including a reported more than 13 million views on Facebook alone.

    A Facebook spokesperson said it removed the video “for sharing false information about cures and treatments for COVID-19,” and told CNN that it will instead show “messages in News Feed to people who have reacted to, commented on or shared harmful COVID-19-related misinformation that we have removed, connecting them to myths debunked by the WHO [World Health Organization].”

    On Twitter, President Donald Trump had shared two clips from the summit. But by early July 28, Twitter took down the videos. Twitter also took down a video of the press conference shared by Breitbart News. A Twitter spokesperson told CNN that the actions were taken in line with its “Covid [misinformation] policy.”

    YouTube also removed the video of the press conference, replacing the footage with a message saying the content was removed for “violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.”


    The press conference was part of a two-day summit the group held, called the “White Coat Summit,” on Capitol Hill. According to the recently-formed group’s website, the goal of the summit is, in part, to “create the opportunity for frontline doctors to talk directly to the American people,” and “educate and inform Congresspersons, who have also been subject to widespread misinformation.”

    During the press conference, Dr. Stella Immanuel, a primary care doctor at Rehoboth Medical Center in Houston, Texas, said that she has treated more than 350 patients with COVID-19 by using a combination of hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin, and characterized the combination of drugs as a “cure.”

    “For the past few months, after taking care of over 350 patients, we’ve not lost one. Not a diabetic, not a somebody with high blood pressure, not somebody with asthma, not an old person. We’ve not lost one patient,” she said.

    “I came here to Washington, D.C. to say ‘America, nobody needs to die.'”

    Immanuel, who is also a Christian deliverance minister with an active YouTube account showing her work at “Fire Power Ministries,” criticized studies that have suggested that hydroxychloroquine is ineffective in treating COVID-19, calling such studies “fake science” backed by “fake pharma companies.”

    “I want to know who is sponsoring that study. I want to know who is behind it, because there is no way I can treat 350 patients and counting and nobody is dead and they all did better,” she said.

    She later alleged that “any study that says hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work is fake science,” adding that “I want them to show me how it doesn’t work.”

    “This is what I would say to all those studies, they had high doses, they were given to wrong patients. I will call them fake science. … How is it going to work for 350 patients for me and they’re all alive, and then somebody say it doesn’t work? Guys, all them studies, fake science,” she said.

    Immanuel also said she herself is using hydroxychloroquine, and her staff and other doctors she knows are also on the medication to help prevent COVID-19. She said that “by the very mechanism of action, it works early and as a prophylaxis.”

    She also pushed for “everybody” to “get on hydroxychloroquine” in order to reopen schools and businesses, and also said that people “don’t need a mask” when there is a “cure.”

    Immanuel insists she will continue to administer the drug to patients affected by the CCP virus.

    “I’ve gotten all kinds of threats. … I don’t care. I’m not going to let Americans die. If this is the hill where I get nailed on, I will get nailed on it. I don’t care,” she said. “You can report me to the bots, you can kill me, you can do whatever, but I’m not going to let Americans die.”

    She commented on remarks by doctors who have told her that double-blind studies are required.

    “When somebody is dead, they are dead. They’re not coming back tomorrow to have an argument. They are not come back tomorrow to discuss the double blinded study and the data,” she said. “All of you doctors that are waiting for data, if six months down the line you actually found out that this data shows that this medication works, how about your patients that have died? You want a double-blinded study where people are dying? It’s unethical.”

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned health professionals in April that the drug should not be used to treat COVID-19 outside of a hospital or research settings due to sometimes fatal side effects, including abnormal heart rhythms or a rapid heart rate. In June, the FDA ended the emergency-use authorization for both hydroxychloroquine and the closely-related chloroquine in treating COVID-19.

    Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were approved decades ago for use against ailments including malaria. They were used early during the pandemic in treatment of patients with the CCP virus, and doctors around the world said they worked against the disease.

    Dr. Simone Gold, a Los Angeles-based emergency medicine specialist and founder of the “America’s Frontline Doctors” group, said at the July 27 press conference that media outlets at large haven’t covered the “ton” of data on hydroxychloroquine. She said the group’s website contains a compendium of studies related to the drug.

    “The safety of HCQ is irrefutable,” the group’s website reads. “The evidence supporting HCQ efficacy against COVID-19 is also overwhelming. All negative HCQ studies have used either: too much, used it alone (it needs Zinc), or used it late (it should be early).”

    Gold has been a vocal supporter of reopening the country. In May, she told The Associated Press that she started to speak out against stay-at-home orders because there was “no scientific basis that the average American should be concerned” about COVID-19. She also led an open letter to President Donald Trump in May that warned about the consequences of a prolonged shutdown. The letter was signed by more than 600 doctors.

    Dr. James Todaro, a researcher on COVID-19, told the press conference that hydroxychloroquine is an over-the-counter drug in many countries and alleged that there has been an “orchestrated attack” on the drug.

    “When have you ever heard of a medication generating this degree of controversy? A 65-year-old medication that has been on the World Health Organization’s safe, essential list of medications for years,” he said.

    Todaro, who continues to share information about the drug on his Twitter page, said that Google removed a paper that he had co-authored in March sharing evidence on the hydroxychloroquine’s efficacy against COVID-19, and that since then, there has been a “tremendous amount of censorship” of doctors who share information about the potential successes of the drug.

    Todaro also said the alleged misinformation on the issue “has reached the highest orders of medicine” and noted the case of a study on hydroxychloroquine in May published in The Lancet, which he calls “one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals in the world.” The World Health Organization had temporarily suspended testing the drug due to the study, but resumed its clinical trial in early June.

    “It was independent researchers like us who care about patients, who care about the truth that dug into this study and determined that it was actually fabricated data. The data was not real,” he said. “And we did this so convincingly that this study was retracted by The Lancet less than two weeks after it was published. This is almost unheard of, especially for a study of this magnitude.”

    It's sort of a joke now to see how long a YT vid that even references it stays available. I downloaded the original video though. Was going to upload it here but it says the file is too large.

    I don't think that incubi and succubi are a known vector for cysts and endometriosis....yikes she sounds like a medieval witch burner, rather than a qualified medical practitioner whose praxis is based on empirical research and actual science instead of supernaturalism and superstition.

    Heres the thing ,, if a bunch of doctors post something,,YT, Twitter, fakebook,etc , they take the video down,, how do they know it's fake,
    Why are these social media platforms allowed to say what video is fake and which is not.
    Because of the agendas they push.
    Is there platforms that can be used where things aren't banned and left for the individual to research from there.

    If I'm hearing things correctly this could be changing?

    Seems doing stuff like the big tech folks are doing could make them legally libel cause they're editing users post...

    which by definition makes them a publisher? and NOT a open forum?

    not sure if that's gonna be the case or not... guess we have to wait and see?

    So you didn't actually READ how her patients were treated.
    I thought not.

    Just an opinion.

    I can see your opinion is as mine and this thread is going no where unless you read all that you quote.

    Who really gives two hoots and a hollar where she got trained or did her residency? Licensure counts. No evidence I've found gives her legitimacy beyond knowing where the camera is and be willing to be used for more than scale calibrations.

    This is actually very important because the focus of the media and the Leftists is on the crazy lady who made the comment about "demon sperm", which is quickly trending on Twitter now, and AWAY from Dr. Harvey Risch, who did the homework and is fully qualified. When the Left can control the narrative, it's easy to discredit the information. Leftists won't even pay attention to this news piece about defeating Covid-19 because it's classified under "opinion", never mind it's a fully qualified one at that and fully cited and researched.

    Trump Retweets of COVID-19 Misinformation Deleted for 'Violating Rules'

    Coronavirus By the Numbers: COVID-19 Cases Reach 15.5 Million Worldwide Amid Increases In US, Brazil
    Share
    Tech & Science Donald Trump Twitter Coronavirus Social media
    Twitter posts containing unsubstantiated claims about COVID-19 shared by President Donald Trump overnight were "no longer available" Tuesday morning.

    Multiple updates that briefly enjoyed a boost to the president's 84 million followers had vanished in a matter of hours, leaving gaps in his Twitter feed indicating the posts were either deleted by the original authors or scrubbed by site moderators.

    A search on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine shows the posts in question made references to the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment for novel coronavirus infections, a claim previously made by the president himself.

    One tweet, from the handle @SidneyPowell1, read: "Make hydroxychloroquine available over the counter! It will prevent and stop it for next to nothing! This is all outrageous and needlessly destructive. All of #America should be open now."

    While the thread is partially still online, a notice on the @SidneyPowell1 tweet shared by president Trump now reads: "This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules."

    The content from another account with the handle TBUNews had linked to a week-old Fox News article claiming hydroxychloroquine "could save up to 100,000 lives if used for COVID-19," citing a professor at the Yale School of Public Health.

    The TBUNews post—also deleted from Twitter for violating rules—had used the hashtag #immunity, the Wayback Machine shows. However, another post with a link to the article retweeted by Trump from user Tom Fitton remained online at time of writing.

    The platform recently flagged several of the president's tweets, including for breaking its policy about glorification of violence. However the posts in question did not receive a flag on Trump's feed, simply the notice: "This Tweet is no longer available."

    Multiple posts retweeted by the president were later deleted for violating rules. @realDonaldTrump
    The Jack Dorsey-led platform has specific rules about spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic, now linked to more than 148,000 deaths in the U.S.

    Officials said this month that the site would continue to remove "demonstrably false or potentially misleading content that has the highest risk of causing harm."

    "For a Tweet to qualify as a misleading claim, it must be an assertion of fact (not an opinion), expressed definitively, and intended to influence others' behavior," it said. This included "preventative measures, treatments/cures and other precautions."

    A Twitter spokesperson told Newsweek the platform was currently "taking action" while
    also working to limit the spread and accessibility of a video—also retweeted by Trump—that contained false claims about COVID-19, traced back to Breitbart News.

    The video, featuring people claiming to be medical experts from a group self-described as "America's Frontline Doctors," went viral across social media Monday, attracting up to 14 million views on Facebook alone before the platforms forced its deletion.

    "This virus has a cure, it's called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax," one woman claimed in the video, as CNN reported. "You don't need masks, there is a cure."

    The Breitbart News clips were also published to YouTube.

    The Twitter spokesperson told Newsweek: "Tweets with the video are in violation of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We are taking action in line with our policy." Trump's feed still contains the video retweet, however the content no longer plays.

    Despite multiple trials being underway across the world, U.S. health officials say there is no known cure or treatment for COVID-19, which is an infectious respiratory disease caused by a coronavirus that was first identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan last year.

    Trump previously claimed he had been taking hydroxychloroquine. On July 1, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cautioned against its use for COVID-19 outside of hospitals or clinical trials due to the "risk of heart rhythm problems."

    On Monday, Trump had criticized Twitter via his own personal account, asserting that trending topics about him were "ridiculous, illegal, and, of course, very unfair!"

    Globally, COVID-19 has now infected more than 16 million people and been tied to more than 654,000 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
