COVID-19 Misinformation
Stella Immanuel on July 27, 2020, appeared in a Tea Party Patriots-backed press event by a group known as "America's Frontline Doctors" in front of the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. She released claims she had cured COVID-19 in 350 patients at her clinic using a combination of hydroxychloroquine, Zithromax, and zinc (a claim not supported by any strong scientific research; no drug has been approved as a specific cure for COVID-19)She also stated that public health measures such as the wearing of facial coverings and social distancing are unnecessary. A Republican member of the House of Representatives, Ralph Norman from South Carolina, attended the doctors' press event. The far-right Breitbart News website published the press event's video.

Stella's video was viewed millions of times and retweeted by President Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr., before it was removed from YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, because it broke their rules on misinformation.
