Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have removed a Breitbart video depicting people calling themselves “America’s Frontline Doctors” and advocating hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment.
President Trump himself shared the clip — which went viral Monday — a number of times, though it is no longer available on his Twitter account.
According to CNN, the clip shows a woman who identifies herself as a doctor at a press conference. The woman says that masks are unnecessary for preventing the spread of the coronavirus, which is contrary to the guidance released by the Trump administration’s own agencies. She also says hydroxychloroquine, a drug used to treat malaria and lupus, is “the cure.”
