Social media giants Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook
are banning or hiding posts about treatments for the coronavirus and the
effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine.
Despite a reputable recent major study and a new report
from a Yale epidemiological expert that verifies
the potential efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), tech giants are censoring
the message. It seems HCQ has become a politically incorrect drug among the
mainstream news media and Big Tech simply because President Trump once referred
to it as a possible treatment for COVID-19.
Twitter and Facebook have now censored multiple
sites and individuals from having a discussion about the pandemic and the
potential treatment. Even Donald Trump, Jr. has been notified that his
access to Twitter was restricted after he shared video pertaining to COVID-19
and medical interventions.
The
president's son was advised that his actions had violated the social media
platform's policy and that he was "spreading misleading and potentially
harmful information related to COVID-19."
Andy Surabian, a spokesman for Trump, Jr. said,
"Twitter suspending Don Jr. for sharing a viral video of medical
professionals discussing their views on Hydroxychloroquine is further proof
that Big Tech is intent on killing free expression online and is another
instance of them committing election interference to stifle Republican
voices."
Prager U is another example of a conservative site
whose Facebook page was blocked for posting the video. "In the middle
of a pandemic, Big Tech should never suppress the voice of frontline doctors
who have direct experience treating thousands of COVID-19 patients in
America," said Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU. "It leads one to
wonder whether it is being suppressed for political or financial gain? Why
would big tech censor the voices of doctors?"
CBN News attempted
to access a YouTube video with doctors talking about coronavirus medications
and treatments, but the video had been removed for "violating community
standards."
The video that
is causing the controversy stems from a group of physicians calling themselves "American
Frontline Doctors" – a group of 600+ medical
professionals who signed a letter emphasizing that Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has
been unnecessarily politicized – who are speaking to the public in an
effort to reduce fears over the coronavirus pandemic.
The doctors are attending a "White Coat
Summit" this week which aims to clarify the
misinformation Americans are receiving from sources that lack
awareness on key topics pertaining to the virus.
The physicians are determined to shine a light on
some of the false claims and fears that are being spread about COVID-19.
Dr. Erickson spoke at the event on Monday and told the
audience that, "99.8 percent of people get through this with little to no
progressive or significant disease."
Physicians with American Frontline Doctors argue
that there are treatments available for people who test positive for the virus,
yet these resources are not being utilized.
"This is the first time, historically, that
we've told patients with a disease to go home in isolate...it's never happened
before," one physician said. "It's almost insanity. We're letting
patients perish unnecessarily."
Several doctors who attended Monday's event said some of the deaths related to the
coronavirus could have been prevented.
One female physician contends there is a medical
"cure" for COVID-19 and another said that hydroxychloroquine's use is
"being blocked because of politics" and that the medication should be
available "over-the-counter."
The White Coat Summit was slated to broadcast on
Facebook, but that link has also been removed.
Additional medical experts are reporting on the
success that patients are having with hydroxychloroquine.
CBN News recently
reported that Dr. Harvey Risch with the Yale University Public School of Health
said hydroxychloroquine, as an early treatment, is "highly effective,
especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or
doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc."
Risch explained that the drug works against the
virus when taken early before it multiplies throughout the body. He said some
physicians who prescribed hydroxychloroquine to patients are now being
scrutinized for their actions.
And a recent major study from the Henry
Ford Health System in Michigan said the drug "significantly" cut the
death rate of patients.
"Treatment with hydroxychloroquine cut the
death rate significantly in sick patients hospitalized with COVID-19 – and
without heart-related side-effects," the health organization reports.
