Facebook and Twitter have removed a Trump video in which he says kids are 'immune' to coronavirus

. The content in question was a video clip of a Trump interview on Fox News Channel on Wednesday, uploaded by the Trump campaign, in which he claimed children are “virtually immune” to COVID-19.

The tweet “is in violation of the Twitter Rules on COVID-19 misinformation,” a Twitter spokeswoman said. “The account owner will be required to remove the Tweet before they can Tweet again.” In this case, the account owner is @TeamTrump, which originally posted the video. It is untrue that children are “almost immune” or “virtually immune” to COVD-19, according to medical experts. Kids have tended to become less sick when infected with coronavirus, but even if they show no symptoms they may still transmit the virus to others.says on its website

Trump's Covid-19 post deleted by Twitter and Facebook over misinformationUS President Donald Trump's post contained a video clip, from an interview with Fox & Friends earlier in the day, in which Trump claimed that children are 'almost immune' to Covid-19. This is pretty ridiculous and clearly politically motivated. He said 'almost immune'. Had he said 'immune' that would have been more correctly false, but his wording and elaboration on the subject use not false. And the censoring doesn't prevent harm. It just furthers support.
