The video featured doctors from a group called America's Frontline Doctors. The group's website advertises a White Coat Summit in Washington, D.C., on July 27 and 28, and the video in question was from a press conference associated with the summit.
Perhaps the most inflammatory claims from the press conference came from Dr. Stella Immanuel, a Houston pediatrician and religious minister who said hydroxychloroquine is both the cure and prevention for COVID-19 and called studies that say it doesn't work "fake science."
The Daily Beast reported that Immanuel has a history of controversial or outlandish medical claims.
"Over the past few months, I have taken care of over 350 patients, and not lost one. ... Nobody needs to get sick. This virus has a cure. It's called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax. I know you people want to talk about masks. Hello? You don't need masks," Immanuel said.
