All major clinical trials have so far reported no benefit of HCQ versus Covid (pictured)
Washington:
Houston doctor retweeted by President Donald Trump after appearing in video praising hydroxychloroquine as a miracle cure for coronavirus attributes gynecological problems to sex with evil spirits and believes the US government is run by “reptilians”.
Stella Immanuel’s viral speech has shone the spotlight on a little-known group calling themselves “America’s frontline physicians” who appear to exist to promote the common antimalarial drug in the fight against COVID-19.
“No one needs to get sick. This virus has a cure – it’s called hydroxychloroquine, ”Emmanuel exclaimed on Monday as she stood on the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington at a so-called“ white coat summit ”. like-minded doctors.
At the start of the pandemic, scientists were eager to find out whether the antiviral properties of hydroxychloroquine would make it effective in real-world patients with SARS-CoV-2.
So far, however, all of the major clinical trials that have reported findings on this issue have found no benefit, and major national health authorities have decided to restrict its use due to potential heart damage.
Nonetheless, the family doctor said all 350 patients she treated with the drug – including those with serious pre-existing conditions – survived and the hydroxychloroquine was so potent it made wearing a mask and wearing it down. unnecessary locking.
The clip was described as a “must see” by Donald Trump Jr, but has since been deleted by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for promoting disinformation.
The hydroxychloroquine debate has become politically supercharged, with leaders like Trump and some of his fellow conservatives in the United States complaining strongly in its favor.
And the curious case of Emmanuel and his colleagues – first reported in depth by The Daily Beast – shows how far drug advocates are ready to go.
Right-wing political group
The “America’s Frontline Doctors” website was registered just 11 days ago, a web domain age checker revealed – and the site was taken down on Tuesday afternoon.
“Tea Party Patriots,” a right-wing political group backed by wealthy Republicans, said on its website that it was responsible for organizing the Washington summit.
Further research of Emmanuel’s webpage, now accessible only through an archived website viewer, as well as his YouTube account, reveals a long list of bizarre and unscientific beliefs.
These include the fact that “tormenting spirits” regularly have “astral sex” with women, which in turn causes “gynecological problems, marital distress, miscarriages” and more.
In a 2015 video, Emmanuel, who heads a religious group called Fire Power Ministries, said: “There are people who run this nation who are not even human,” describing them as “reptilian spirits” who are ” half human, half AND “.
In the same video, she denounces the use of “alien DNA” to treat sick people, which she says has resulted in the mixing of humans and demons.
Other targets of her anger include gay marriage, which she says results in the marriage of adults with children.
Immanuel was born in 1965, graduated in medicine from the University of Calabar in Nigeria, and has a valid medical license, according to the Texas Medical Board website.
After Facebook removed the clip, Immanuel warned that the company’s servers would start crashing until it was restored.
“If my page is not saved, the face book will be down in Jesus name,” she tweeted.
