Google, Facebook, Twitter Shut Down 'Frontline' US Doctors Who Have Used and Promote HCQ as Effective Treatment for COVID

Anthony Murdoch : Jul 29, 2020  LifeSiteNews.com

"...There are many thousands of physicians who have been silenced for telling the American people the good news about the situation, that we can manage the virus carefully and intelligently, but we cannot live with this spider web of fear that's constricting our country." -Dr. Simone Gold

[LifeSiteNews.com] A video viewed millions of times, which showed doctors championing hydroxychloroquine as an effective treatment for the coronavirus and blasting the "spider web of fear" the virus has caused Americans, was swiftly removed from YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook for violating the sites' respective COVID-19 "misinformation" policies.

The banned video, originally posted by Breitbart News, was removed despite going viral. It shows a press conference held this Monday in front of the US Supreme Court by the group America's Frontline Doctors in Washington, DC.

Read the full transcript from the video here.

The group is in DC for its "White Coat Summit" event, which was organized and sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC). It kicked off yesterday with a full-day agenda and finished up today.

 The doctors' group website (which as of press time appears to be taken offline, but parts of it can still be viewed on the internet archive site Wayback), claims that "American life has fallen casualty to a massive disinformation campaign. We can speculate on how this has happened, and why it has continued, but the purpose of the inaugural White Coat Summit is 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."

Breitbart reported Monday that a Facebook company spokesman, Andy Stone, told the publication, "We've removed this video for sharing false information about cures and treatments for COVID-19."

The report goes on to mention that Stone did not tell Breitbart which part of the video Facebook argued was "false information" or where the decision to remove the videos came from.

The event was live-streamed by Breitbart and appears to be available in an embedded form linked to Breitbart's report on its censorship.  The transcript of the press conference is available online as well, which matches the press conference nearly word for word.

New York Times tech columnist Kevin Roose took to Twitter on Monday to bring attention to the video.

"The #2 most-engaged post on Facebook today is a Breitbart video of a group of doctors claiming that hydroxychloroquine is 'a cure for Covid' and 'you don't need a mask.' 14 million views in 6 hours. (For scale, Plandemic got ~8 million in a few days.)," wrote Roose on Twitter on Monday.

This garnered a response from the same Facebook official who replied to Breitbart, Andy Stone, who replied in the Twitter thread, saying, "Yes, we removed it for sharing false information about cures and treatments for COVID-19."

On Facebook, the Breitbart News live stream of the doctors' press conference had over 17 million views "within 8 hours and had 185,000 concurrent viewers at the time it was streamed," according to the news site.

A YouTube clip of the event had 80,000 views before it was removed for "violating YouTube's Community Guidelines," according to Breitbart News.

Breitbart News's live stream of the event had around 1 million views on Twitter's live-streaming platform Periscope before it was taken offline, according to the news site.

America's Frontline Doctors was founded by Dr. Simone Gold, who according to her website is a "board-certified emergency physician Stanford educated attorney."

The full line-up of speakers for the "White Coat Summit" included Dr. Gold and Dr. Dan Erickson, who made headlines in April for questioning the coronavirus lockdown measures and its impact on the economy and people's mental health.

The doctors' Monday press conference began with Gold, who said they had decided to hold the summit because "the American people have not heard from all the expertise that's out there all across our country. We do have some experts speaking, but there's lots and lots of experts across the country"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
