Doctor Immanuel Under Fire For Saying Hydroxychloroquine Cures Covid-19

The Nigerian-American Doctor Stella Immanuel has come under fire over her claims that she has cured covid-9 patients with Hydroxychloroquine.

The group only recently created its website which says it wants to “empower Americans to stop living in fear”.

“If Americans continue to let so-called experts and media personalities make their decisions, the great American experiment of a Constitutional Republic with Representative Democracy, will cease,” it says.

Emergency medicine doctor Anand Swaminathan said the hydroxychloroquine propaganda from America’s Frontline Doctors was complete nonsense.

“This is the message of hucksters, not doctors,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Multiple well-done studies show no benefit for HCQ. If your results are so good, publish. Otherwise, you’re full of it.”

Dr Immanuel said she did not need to do a double-blind study because it was unethical.

“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?,” she said.

“We don’t need to die. There is a cure for COVID.”

Many others slammed the group on Twitter, questioning their credentials and the fact they were wearing matching lab coats.

“The coat the doctors are wearing says ‘America’s Frontline Doctors’ – what organisation is that?” one woman asked.

“What hospital are they affiliated with? Where do they work? And they are all standing there without masks on. Real doctors would not set this poor of an example.”

The “leadership” team of the America’s Frontline Doctors group includes ophthalmologists, an orthopaedic surgeon and a psychiatrist.

Its leader, Dr Simone Gold, has appeared on conservative talk radio and podcast programs to advocate for the use of hydroxychloroquine.

In May she said there was “no scientific basis that the average American should be concerned” about COVID-19.

The LA emergency doctor was head organiser of an open letter signed by more than 600 doctors who pushed Mr Trump to end what they called a “national shutdown”.

On her blog she said masks did not work.

“The scientific usefulness of a mask has been so aggressively overstated,” she said.

“The Covid virus was supposed to be contained in the kind of lab where people wear astronaut suits and go through triple sealed doors. It is a con of massive proportion to assert that now, having escaped those environs, a bandana will magically do the trick.”

A Facebook spokesman said the group’s video was removed for “sharing false information about cures and treatments for COVID-19”.

Supporters said it was a “real eye-opener” and “the biggest scandal in modern American history”.
