Controversial Nigerian-trained US Doctor, Immanuel, Asks Trump Why He Didn’t Take Chloroquine

A Nigerian-trained doctor based in the United States, Stella Immanuel, has asked President Donald Trump why he did not use hydroxychloroquine to protect himself from COVID-19.

According to her, hydroxychloroquine and related dr*gs would have kept the US president safe from the deadly virus.

Oriental Times recalled that the US president announced on Thursday, October 2, that he had contracted the virus alongside his wife.

Replying to Trump’s tweet announcing his Covid-19 status, Immanuel wrote:

“Sir, you exposed the effectiveness of HCQ to us. Why did you and FLOTUS not take it for prevention?
“You did not need to get covid19. HCQ, zinc, Vit C and D and you will not get sick.”

The lady, however, said she would be praying for the quick recovery of the president and his wife.

Sir you exposed the effectiveness of HCQ to us. Why did you and FLOTUS not take it for prevention? You did not need to get covid19. HCQ, zinc, Vit C and D and you will not get sick. Praying for you and your team sir.

Immanuel made headline in July after she claimed to have cured Covid-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine. She criticised doctors doubting the efficacy of the drug.

Her claim was trailed by controversy and her video was removed by Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for false information.

While many criticised the Nigerian-trained doctor, President Trump was one of the people who defended her.
