The pro-hydroxychloroquine doctor at the center of a video retweeted by Donald Trump - and deleted by Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for misinformation - previously promoted the idea that the United States was ruled by " reptilians " and that gynecological problems were linked to sex with evil spirits. The video in question shows a group of doctors explaining, among other things, that masks are not necessary and that " there is a drug " to treat the coronavirus, hydroxychloroquine.

" You can cure the virus, it's called hydroxychloroquine, " says doctor Stella Immanuel, who appears in the video among other white coats before the Supreme Court. She assures that the drug has prevented her own patients from dying from Covid-19, and that it makes mask wear and confinement unnecessary. The son of the US President, Donald Jr., touted a "must see " video .
Hydroxychloroquine, originally a drug against malaria, was promoted at the start of the pandemic by Donald Trump who then said he was taking it preventively. But American health authorities have since recommended not to prescribe the drug to Covid-19 patients, because of the risks to the heart, and in the absence of proven benefits. Several rigorous clinical trials have observed no positive effects in patients. But the drug has become the favorite of anti-systems and, in the United States, of the Trumpist right.
Stella Immanuel had a site called " America's Frontline Doctors ", apparently created 11 days ago, but which disappeared Tuesday afternoon. Archives of the doctor's site and YouTube page reveal a long list of pseudo-scientific statements from the doctor: thus " spirits of suffering " are said to have " astral " sex with women, which causes " gynecological problems. , marital problems and miscarriages ”.

In a 2015 video, she says the rulers of the United States are " reptilian spirits ," " half-human, half-alien ."

Stella Immanuel, born in 1965, has a medical degree from the University of Calabar in Nigeria, and has a medical license valid in the United States, according to the site of the Texas Medical Board.
