A wave of criticism has hit the American singer Madonna for her posting on Instagram about the alleged already existing cure for COVID-19. On Wednesday, July 29, the British newspaper The Sun reports.
The artist posted a video on the social network, where a group of people in white coats, calling themselves “America’s Advanced Doctors”, claims that hydroxychloroquine, zinc and citromax treat coronavirus. They also stated that it makes no sense to wear medical masks.
The full 45-minute video and excerpts from it were taken from social media sites Facebook, Twitter and Instagram immediately after it began to spread online.
“The truth will set us all free. But some people don’t want to hear the truth, ”wrote the 61-year-old singer.
Also in a commentary to the video, Madonna criticized government officials who, she said, make money from the protracted search for a vaccine “that has been proven and available for many months.”
The Instagram administration almost immediately marked the post as containing false and dangerous information, after which it blocked the post.
Users also criticized Madonna for posting. “This is sheer madness! I can’t believe you support such a dangerous quackery, ”wrote Eurythmics vocalist Annie Lennox and expressed hope that the star’s account was hacked. This post has also been removed.
On April 30, Madonna announced that she had been tested, which showed that she had antibodies to coronavirus infection, which means that the disease was asymptomatic. She says she can now “breathe COVID-19 air” safely. So in June, the singer was seen marching against racism in London without a mask.
Earlier, the representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Russia Melita Vujnovich said that the presence of antibodies to coronavirus in a person’s blood does not mean that he cannot become infected.
