Stella Immanuel, a Nigerian-trained doctor based in the United States, has queried US President Donald Trump on why he did not use hydroxychloroquine to protect himself from COVID-19.
In July, the doctor stirred a controversy when she said she has treated over 350 COVID-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine.
“I’m here because I have personally treated over 350 patients with COVID-19…. I think my oldest patients are 92. We have not lost one patient. And the result has been the same,” she had claimed.
On Thursday, Trump, who also promoted the anti-malarial drug as a potential cure for COVID-19, announced that he had contracted the virus alongside his wife.
Commenting on the US president’s tweet announcing his diagnosis, Immanuel said hydroxychloroquine and related drugs would have protected him.
“You did not need to get covid19. HCQ, zinc, Vit C and D and you will not get sick.”
The doctor, however, added that she is praying for the US president and his team.
