Washington DC, July 28: Twitter has suspended Donald Trump Jr from sharing any videos after he shared "potentially harmful information" of doctor claiming that hydroxychloroquine is a cure for the novel coronavirus infection. In the clip, doctors from America’s Frontline Doctors share how hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial, was successful in treating COVID-19. Donald Trump Again Pushes Unproven Drug as COVID-19 Treatment.
“BREAKING: @Twitter & @jack have suspended @DonaldJTrumpJr for posting a viral video of medical doctors talking about Hydroxychloroquine. Big Tech is the biggest threat to free expression in America today & they’re continuing to engage in open election interference – full stop,” said Republican strategist Andrew Surabian.
