Madonna is doing what she does best again: be censored.
Yesterday, Instagram concealed a video from the superstar’s account for promoting a conspiracy theory that claims a cure for the coronavirus “has been found and tested and has been available for months.”
“They prefer to let fear control people and let the rich get rich and the poor get poorer,” said the caption for the 15 million followers of the 61-year-old pop icon.
The censored clip features Dr. Stella Immanuel, a Houston, Texas-based primary care physician, and a leading figure in the video called “America’s Frontline Doctors,” which has already been removed from major social media platforms, including Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. In the now viral video, Dr. Immanuel claimed to have treated 350 coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine.
The video on Madge’s account, in which he stated that Dr. Immanuel was his “hero,” was soon blurred and captioned as “False Information,” along with a link leading to another page on the platform, which clarifies the affirmations.
British singer Annie Lennox, 65, commented: “This is total madness! I can’t believe you’re backing this dangerous quackery. Hopefully your site has been hacked and you are about to explain it. “
Madonna, who said she tested positive for COVID-19, has since removed the publication entirely, a perhaps surprising move after speculation among experts that she is “selling to continue receiving attention.” [on Instagram] and she doesn’t know how weird it’s going. “
Since the COVID-19 outbreak occurred around the world, the legendary artist has kept fans up-to-date through her “Quarantine Quarantines.” In one scene, the “Like a Prayer” singer dives into a bathtub full of petals. She tells the camera: “The terrible thing about this is that it has made us all equal in many ways, and the wonderful thing about this is that it has made us all equal in many ways.”
Madonna’s representatives did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The censored post comes after Twitter temporarily suspended Donald Trump Jr. for sharing a clip of Dr. Immanuel discussing the anti-malaria drug.
“This virus has a cure: it is called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax,” says Immanuel in the video. “You don’t need masks. There is a cure. “
