A video made by a group called “America’s Frontline
Doctors” was taken down by YouTube, Facebook and Twitter for providing harmful misinformation
about coronavirus, especially claims about hydroxychloroquine.
WJLA7 and BBC have typical stories. But there are still some videos with the
group on YouTube as I just checked.
Furthermore, the group’s web hosting company Squarespace
replaced the site landing page with one that says “website expired”, an idea
from one of my screenplays.
It’s unusual for webhosts to take down a site, but the
practice became more common after Charlottesville.
"Misinformation" about masks could be a sensitive
matter (Donald J. Trump Jr. got suspended for twelve hours from Twitter, CNN), as it would still come across as a politicized “debate” rather than an order with
which we need real compliance. But other
sensitive matters could come up, like if it is determined later that masks need
to be of a certain quality or specificity.
A Yale Professor Harvey A Risch is critical of the testing
protocols used to discredit hydroxychloroquine, as in this op-ed in Newsweek. Peak Prosperity believes that it may be
effective with zinc (as well as azythromycin) and I have personally heard of cases
where patients have recovered quickly – but they were otherwise healthy and
this may not prove much.
Personally, if you are a patient and are well enough
to research at home, I urge you to bone up on it and ask your doctor about
various treatments.
ZDoggMD has a balanced perspective on the AFD video and says it should not be censored.
