Washington, D.C. – On June 27th, America’s Frontline Doctors gathered on the steps of the Supreme Court of the United States to share their expertise regarding the drug hydroxychloroquine and its potential impact on the Covid-19 virus. Despite their efforts, mainstream and social media swiftly vilified the group when the video of their presentation went viral.
President Donald Trump shared the video on Twitter, prompting its immediate removal by the platform. Additionally, Donald Trump Jr.’s Twitter account faced a temporary suspension after he retweeted the video. Facebook has labeled the video as containing false or misleading information whenever it’s posted on their site. Adding to the controversy, the website of America’s Frontline Doctors has been taken down by their internet hosting provider, Squarespace.
Furthermore, Nick Robins-Early, Hayley Miller, and Jesselyn Cook penned an article in the Huffington Post titled “How Quack Doctors And Powerful GOP Operatives Spread Misinformation To Millions,” in which they accused the doctors of disseminating false information about COVID-19 with the assistance of Facebook, right-wing media, and President Trump. This raises the question: would they author such an article scrutinizing Dr. Anthony Fauci? Interestingly, Fauci himself authored a piece titled “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS Coronavirus infection and spread” in The Virology Journal, the official publication of the National Institutes of Health, published on August 22, 2005. In a direct quote from the article, Fauci stated: “So HCQ functions as both a CURE and a vaccine.” However, this crucial information is seldom acknowledged by the mainstream media.
Efforts to discredit America’s Frontline Doctors have singled out Dr. Stella Immanuel, who is being subjected to mockery and ridicule for her fervent endorsement of hydroxychloroquine. Mainstream media portrays Immanuel as eccentric because of her warning about the dangers of engaging in sexual encounters with demons. However, it’s worth noting that even renowned figures in history had their idiosyncrasies. Sigmund Freud, one of the world’s preeminent neurologists, famously proposed controversial theories, including the Oedipus complex. Albert Einstein, celebrated for his groundbreaking work in physics, had a complex personal life, including a romantic involvement with his cousin during his divorce. Similarly, the brilliant mathematician John Nash battled schizophrenia. While Dr. Immanuel may not rank among the world’s greatest physicians, it’s not uncommon for distinguished scientists and doctors to have their eccentricities.
Social media platforms swiftly removed this video because it contradicted their established narrative. The underlying agenda here isn’t necessarily a belief that these doctors are disseminating misinformation, but rather a desire, particularly from the Left, to perpetuate a climate of fear. It’s viewed as part of a broader political strategy aimed at influencing the outcome of the election by painting President Trump as ineffective in his response to Covid-19. The actions of these influential social media companies highlight the urgent need for regulation to prevent the censorship of dissenting perspectives.
