YouTube has blocked Dr Stella Immanuel’s testimony about the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, as a cure for COVID-19.
YouTube said it violates its rules.
Facebook is also reported to have done the same, with Immanuel’s account blocked.
This made the doctor threaten to crash the social platform, invoking the power of Jesus.
“Hello Facebook put back my profile page and videos up or your computers with start crashing till you do. You are not bigger that God. I promise you. If my page is not back up face book will be down in Jesus name.”
Afriupdate, however found that her controversial video is alive on many Facebook accounts as it has been widely shared, before the clampdown.
Dr Stella Immanuel is Cameroonian-born but Nigerian trained physician.
Her maiden name is Gwandiku-Ambe. She attended University of Calabar College of Medicine and graduated in 1990.
Dr Stella Immanuel was trending on social media on Tuesday after delivering an impassioned COVID-19 speech in Washington D.C.
Immanuel claimed that antimalarial drug, hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and antibacterial drug, Zithromax, were effective cures for the virus.
She dismissed experts’ warning that hydroxychloroquine could cause serious heart problems for coronavirus patients, citing her experience with the use of the drug.
She said she had successfully treated no fewer than 350 patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax. Hydroxychloroquine, long touted by President Donald Trump as the cure for the virus, according to her.
But her testimony has been dismissed as politically motivated.
Immanuel is said to be working with Trump campaign groups.
A group called America’s Frontline Doctors also countered the views of the Nigerian US-based doctor.
The group only recently created its website which says it wants to “empower Americans to stop living in fear”.
“If Americans continue to let so-called experts and media personalities make their decisions, the great American experiment of a Constitutional Republic with Representative Democracy, will cease,” it says.
Reacting to the position of the America’s Frontline Doctors, Emergency medicine doctor Anand Swaminathan said the hydroxychloroquine propaganda from the group was complete nonsense.
“This is the message of hucksters, not doctors,” he wrote on Twitter.
“Multiple well-done studies show no benefit for HCQ. If your results are so good, publish. Otherwise, you’re full of it.”
Dr Immanuel said she did not need to do a double-blind study because it was unethical.
“All of you doctors that are waiting for data, if six months down the line you actually found out that this data shows that this medication works, how about your patients that have died?,” she said.
“We don’t need to die. There is a cure for COVID.”
Many others slammed the group on Twitter, questioning their credentials and the fact they were wearing matching lab coats.
“The coat the doctors are wearing says ‘America’s Frontline Doctors’ – what organisation is that?” one woman asked.
“What hospital are they affiliated with? Where do they work? And they are all standing there without masks on. Real doctors would not set this poor of an example.”
