France & other countries are successful treating Corona virus drug RX - Hydroxyquiinalon. NBC & others trash Our Great President...we are sick & tired of these smears...People May die because of this smearing.

He needs to be arrested for putting ppl’s lives in danger

Unproven? Please cite facts.

So you leftists media and tech are actively blocking the news of this successful treatment in order to forward your agenda.

Facebook and twitter are the enemy of the people. So is nbc

Censorship is never ok.

And in fact, Bolsonaro was right and Facebook, Twitter and fake news like you were wrong.

Falsely?

Big tech has become a dangerous player in national affairs. They defer to foreign interests and trade your data. Their influence over the masses is too great to allow them to continue unchecked. MANY ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS, NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS and ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE!

is full of 💩.. So dangerous..

Why don’t you pull down your mask and touch your face a little? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Did the FDA approve it’s emergency use or not?

How do they know it's false?

gearmando I am Brazilian and very very ashamed of everything our President says, especially now! He’s dumb and dangerous! We’re screwed 🇧🇷

Of course the 'news' article cites the example of the married couple in Arizona who consumed fish tank cleaner, even though new information points to the wife using Trump's promotion of hydroxycholoriquine as an excuse to kill her husband and advance her anti-Trump agenda.

WHY ARE YOU BIASED AGAINST SOMETHING THAT'S WORKING NBC?

Studies show it does work.

If they said it didnt work its be seems they want this to go on as long as possible.I wonder why hmmm

Love that pic! A man, wearing a mask, incorrectly, and touching his freakin' face. Good work, NBC!

Is there a specific place in the world where the drug mysteriously does not work, or does it indeed have some level of success everywhere it’s tried?

So trump says lies everyday do his videos get removed?

It’s why Trump is correct. Media is fake news. Censoring. Orwellian.

We're going to look back on this, very shortly, and wonder why the media was SO HOSTILE to using this life saving drug combo. Coming from NBC (the worst offender) i'm thinking it's because China is spreading false information AGAINST the drugs because they want us to suffer.

I've yet to see a single example where this has been proven false.

Is this false information? Why not show us why it's false rather than telling us? Why is the media so hostile to the possibility that this drug combination may be helpful to people?

And RIGHT AFTER DrTedros who is not a MD as his handle implies, say the same thing, and his video is untouched. I guess they want the Charlatan be the one that brings the news, not a Right-Wing President.

Facebook:

Nothing But Corruption

Twitter:

WTH? Facebook & Twitter are murderers.

False? Okay.

jack why? FDA has approved this medication for use on Covid19 patience. Let the world know we’re in a fight for lives and this is helping people.

Mainstream media, you never cease to amaze me with your boundless inhumanity.

He's more Trump than Trump

Thus confirming, by epic pearl-clutching, that Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro made an accurate statement. BreakingNews

Translation: Bolsonaro mentioned a drug that doesn't fit into Facebook and Twitters' dystopian ideal, so Facebook bans him for speaking truth. And Jack and Mark will struggle to walk down the street very soon.

Who the fuck are twitter to say so? They let Chinese govt propaganda stay up. Demonstrably false propaganda. What a shhtshow.

You are the fake news

Must...censor...before...sheep...find out about a cure for the common cold and bankrupt the pharmaceutical industry...

It's weird how the media is saying it won't work yet India and I also believe the UK have banned the export of this drug. Almost like they're keeping it for themselves because maybe, maybe it just might actually work.

China, Korea, Japan, NY, LA, UK, France, Italy, Belgium. FDA approval. I'd say chloroquine can truthfully be claimed 'It's used everywhere.' NBC misleads on the Florida couple who took fish tank cleaner. What's going on here? That's the real story!

We are watching the downfall of the msm and tech companies in real time.

Well they certainly screwed up. They knew that when they removed them. They were trying to prevent spread of the TRUTH, as usual

Why do twitter and facebook want people to die?

That's because big pharma can't make billions treatments only $7

Sustainable2050 I think it was Bolsonaro who also said that, in the absence of masks, a brushy moustache could mitigate the spread of the virus.

firstcitizensam It's clear that the world needs other social networks. Maybe, it is time to migrate to and

Now do trump

Gee...it's almost as if you MSM, FB, Twitter, Democrats..all want us to just DIE ALREADY and keep secret that these drugs can CURE PEOPLE! But you all wouldn't do that would ya? depopulation maybe? WE ALL SEE YOU CBSNews cnn MSNBC realDonaldTrump IngrahamAngle

Enemy of the People

FAKE NEWSSSSSSS!!!!!!! FAKE NEWSSSSSSS!!!!!!! FAKE NEWSSSSSSS!!!!!!! FAKE NEWSSSSSSS!!!!!!! FAKE NEWSSSSSSS!!!!!!! FAKE NEWSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Doctors and hospitals are also reporting that the drug seems to be helping. Let the public communicate about this stuff, please. Let go of this hate.

Medical professionals that ran extensive studies RIGHTLY, not falsely, said. Why are Democrats openly opposing the use of PROVEN cures?

'Falsely'? 🤔I think you've opened yourself up to a libel suit by the President of Brazil, NBC… I hope he goes for it.

The same drug the EPA admitted yesterday. You're fakenews.

The drug given emergency authorization by the FDA yesterday? That drug? FakeNews EnemyofthePeople

We are at war and the curators of the world have chosen the other side.

Keep censoring people globalist pigs. We're winning. You're losing and your desperation is delicious.

1984 much, Silicon Valley?

Let me reword that for you FakeNew, FB and Twitter in the best style of Nazi Germany, decided to censor the President of Brazil for supporting the idea of a cure.

What a time for the planet to have such a huge surplus of little men masquerading as leaders.

Twitter Facebook

How odd. It's almost like Facebook and Twitter have a biased agenda.

firstcitizensam That’s not even what he said.

Facebook and Twitter, the arbiter what the truth is and the censor of that information. Communism at it's finest.

Because it is you fools.

What consequences should Twitter and Facebook face if we find out that these drugs work?

yet CCP propaganda is unfettered.

Can we do the same here with Trump please? Coronavirustruth DoctorsOnlyPressConferences TrumpMadness WorstPresidentInHistory

Who decides if it’s true or not? Their board of directors or the man behind their curtain. They are not one in the same.🧐 Who’s their Oracle of truth?

It's looking like the world is loaded with idiot leaders. Mostly men, as far as I can tell.

People are so fucked up

Didn't he contract it? Is he well now? Why aren't you following up instead of just repeating Twitter & FB?

This will be looked back upon as disgraceful

Unfortunately, Twitter is leaving up many, many other false tweets from others about fake CoronaVirus hoax treatments.

Worried more people will ingest fish tank cleaner? Sheesh

Now do the orange obese lying thing.

Now, how many lies has trump told on Twitter?

Fact check: Trump again touts unproven drugs for coronavirusTrump inaccurately characterized previous statements he's made. He again talked up medications that haven't been clinically proven safe or effective for use against coronavirus. And in touting progress on testing for the virus, he omitted important context I guess CNN wants the president to come out and say nobody's going to ever get their job back and everybody's going to die! When in reality he is being optimistic, people will go back to work and the economy will boom again, America's engines are revving up! Say the word! MAGA Aren't you omitting the context of all the proven success it seems to be having all over? You want this pandemic to be worse? Kill more Americans? Why? Fake news.

Experimental coronavirus drug remdesivir to be distributed again after halt a week agoPresident Donald Trump called remdesivir 'promising' 10 days ago, though there is no data yet to show whether it is safe and effective at treating COVID-19. Why do we pretend these aren’t working in other countries? The media isn't trying to cover the virus. The media is trying to attack Donald Trump. If you think the country is at risk because of the virus, the media doesn't care. LMFAOOOO It saved my cousin.
