Hydroxychloroquine Advocate Angry Donald Trump Took ‘Experimental Antibody Stupidness’

“A doctor notorious for claiming hydroxychloroquine is a ‘cure’ for COVID-19 has denounced White House doctors for not giving President Donald Trump the drug to treat his infection…” reports Newsweek. “Other unsubstantiated claims from Immanuel include declarations that fasting can cure those affected by ‘witchcraft,’ that having sex with demons while dreaming can cause gynecological problems and that certain medications contain the DNA of extraterrestrial aliens.” Dr. Stella Immanuel, who gained fame in July after Trump retweeted a video showing her touting the malaria drug, expressed outrage in a series of tweets on Friday, condemning the medical decisions of “bozo doctors” who surrounded the president after he tested positive for COVID-19. “Instead of giving the president of the United States a known safe drug,” Immanuel tweeted. “They gave him some experimental antibody stupidness.
