Following a revelation by a Us-based Nigerian doctor, Dr Stella Immanuel about the efficacy of hydroroxychoroquine and related drugs as cure for the global COVID-19 pandemic, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter have deleted the viral video, saying the content violates their rules.
Facebook is also reported to have done the same, with Immanuel’s account blocked.
This made the doctor threaten to crash the social platform, invoking the power of Jesus.
She said, “Hello Facebook put back my profile page and videos up or your computers with start crashing till you do. You are not bigger that God. I promise you. If my page is not back up face book will be down in Jesus name.”
Dr Stella Immanuel was trending on social media on Tuesday after delivering a paasionate COVID-19 speech in Washington D.C, United States.
Immanuel claimed that antimalarial drugs – hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and antibacterial drug – Zithromax, were effective cures for the virus.
She dismissed experts’ warning that hydroxychloroquine could cause serious heart problems for coronavirus patients, citing her experience with the use of the drug.
She said she had successfully treated no fewer than 350 patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax. Hydroxychloroquine has been long campaigned for by President Donald Trump as the cure for the virus, according to her.
But her testimony has been dismissed as politically motivated.
Immanuel is said to be working with Trump campaign groups.
And she is reported to be a primary health care doctor, who probably comes across patients with mild symptoms of COVID-19.
Her video was shared by Freedom Rights and retweeted by Conservative Trump campaigners.
Below are excerpts of Immanuel’s speech
“Hello, I’m Dr Stella Immanuel. I’m a primary care physician in Houston, Texas.
“I went to medical school in West Africa, Nigeria, where I took care of malaria patients, treated them with hydroxychloroquine and stuff like that.
“So I’m used to these medications. I’m here because I have personally treated over 350 patients with COVID-19. Patients that have diabetes, patients that have high blood pressure, patients that have asthma, old people … I think my oldest patients are 92 … 87-year-olds.
“And the result has been the same. I put them on hydroxychloroquine, I put them on zinc, I put them on Zithromax, and they’re all well.
“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 who asthma, not an old person.
“We’ve not lost one patient. And on top of that, I’ve put myself, my staff, and many doctors that I know on hydroxychloroquine for prevention because by the very mechanism of action, it works early and as a prophylaxis.
“The study that made me start using hydroxychloroquine was a study that they did under the NIH in 2005 that says it works.
“Recently, I was doing some research about a patient that had hiccups and I found out that they even did a recent study in the NIH, which is our National Institute … that is the National … NIH, what? National Institute of Health.
“I know you’re going to tell me that you treated 20 people, 40 people, and it didn’t work. I’m a true testimony. So I came here to Washington DC to tell America nobody needs to get sick.
“This virus has a cure. It is called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax. I know you people want to talk about a mask. Hello? You don’t need a mask. There is a cure.
“I tell all of you doctors that are sitting down and watching Americans die. You’re like the good Nazi … the good one, the good Germans that watched Jews get killed and you did not speak up.
“If they come after me, they threaten me. They’ve threatened to … I mean, I’ve gotten all kinds of threats. Or they’re going to report me to the bots.
“I say, you know what? I don’t care. I’m not going to let Americans die. And if this is the hill where I get nailed on, I will get nailed on it. I don’t care.
“You can report me to the bots, you can kill me, you can do whatever, but I’m not going to let Americans die.
“And today I’m here to say it, that America, there is a cure for COVID-19. All this foolishness does not need to happen. There is a cure for COVID-19.”
