But, Emmanuel, in a reactionary tweet on Friday, argued that if Trump had been taking hydroxychloroquine and zinc, he would have been immune to the virus.
Recall that Emmanuel, under the aegis of the America’s Frontline Doctors, had claimed that she had cured over 300 patients using the combination of those drugs.
Meanwhile, she wished the President speedy recovery.
“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,” she tweeted.

Recall that the World Health Organization and America’s Infectious Disease experts had stressed that hydroxychloroquine was not an effective cure for covid-19.
“And it is still obviously the right of any physician to prescribe a drug for a patient according to national laws and national guidelines but all we can say is at this stage it does not appear that hydroxychloroquine has a benefit in the treatment of sick patients with covid-19,” Mike Ryan, Executive Director of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme, had disclosed during in Geneva during a question and answer session.
On his part, the President had on July 29 said that Dr. Stella Emmanuel’s claims on Covid-19 cure should not be brushed aside, due to the results she’s had with Hydroxychloroquine.
“Maybe it’s the same or maybe it’s not but I can tell you this: She was on air, along with many other doctors, and they were big fans of hydroxychloroquine.

“And I thought she was very impressive in the sense that from where she came, I don’t know which country she comes from but she said that she’s had tremendous success with hundreds of different patients and I thought her voice was an important voice but I know nothing about her”, he had said in a White House press briefing.
