“America’s rates of coronavirus cases continue to soar above those of other developed nations such as Canada, a dismal reality partly attributable to reports over the weekend of un-distanced ‘Covid parties’, church services without masks and a packed Chainsmokers concert in the Hamptons.
Obviously, ordinary Americans should be taking this pandemic more seriously, but in their defense, it’s hard to do that when this is the guy who’s setting the tone from the top. Donald Trump’s retweeting earlier this week of a coronavirus conspiracy video inaccurately claiming hydroxychloroquine – that old friend – as a cure for the virus.
Twitter subsequently flagged and removed the video, which featured Dr Stella Immanuel, a physician in Texas with, as reported by the Daily Beast, a long history of propagating bizarre, untruthful and anti-LGBTQ medical claims, such as that gynecological conditions like endometriosis are caused by people having sex in their dreams with witches or demons.
Yes, despite having the world’s top doctors at his disposal. Trump has decided instead to trust a doctor who believes that people get sick because they masturbate and that vaccines are made from alien DNA. And by the way, whatever you do, please don’t start running around saying that African doctors are crazy.
Immanuel was born in Cameroon and received her medical degree in Nigeria. This doctor, who’s from Africa, happens to be crazy. You can’t use her to judge all African doctors, the same way you wouldn’t want the world to judge America’s presidents based on one guy, would you? Basically, America has two choices right now. We can limit the spread of corona by following the science or listen to the advice of internet randos like Dr. Demon Sperm. —Trevor Noah
