A Nigerian-trained doctor based in the United States, Stella Immanuel, has asked President Donald Trump why he did not use hydroxychloroquine to protect himself from COVID-19.

According to her, hydroxychloroquine and related dr*gs would have kept the US president safe from the deadly virus.

The US president announced on Thursday, October 2, that he had contracted the virus alongside his wife.

Replying to Trump’s tweet announcing his Covid-19 status, Immanuel wrote:

“Sir, you exposed the effectiveness of HCQ to us. Why did you and FLOTUS not take it for prevention?

Immanuel made headline in July after she claimed to have cured Covid-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine. She criticised doctors doubting the efficacy of the drug.

Her claim was trailed by controversy and her video was removed by Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for false information.

While many criticised the Nigerian-trained doctor, President Trump was one of the people who defended her.

Meanwhile, reactions have continued to trail the news that the American president and his wife, Melania tested positive for Covid-19.

While many in the comment section wished him and his wife well, others used it as an opportunity to vent their political anger.
