“Hello, I’m Dr Stella Emmanuel. I’m a
primary care physician in Houston, Texas. I went to medical school in West
Africa, Nigeria, where I took care of malaria patients, treated them with
hydroxychloroquine and stuff like that. So I’m used to these medications.

“I’m here because I have personally
treated over 350 patients with COVID-19. Patients that have diabetes, high
blood pressure, asthma, old people. I think my oldest patients are 92,
87-year-olds. And the result has been the same. I put them on
hydroxychloroquine, I put them on zinc, I put them on Zithromax, and they’re
all well.

“After taking care of over 350 patients, we’ve
not lost one. And on top of that, I’ve put myself, my staff, and many doctors
that I know on hydroxychloroquine for prevention because by the very mechanism
of action, it works early and as a prophylaxis. The study that made me start
using hydroxychloroquine was a study that they did under the NIH in 2005 that
says it works.

“Recently, I was doing some research
about a patient that had hiccups and I found out that they even did a recent
study in the NIH, which is our National Institute of Health. I know you’re
going to tell me that you treated 20 people, 40 people, and it didn’t work. I’m
a true testimony. So I came here to Washington DC to tell America nobody needs
to get sick.

“I thought her voice was an important voice, but I know nothing about her,” President Trump says of the video he retweeted where a woman claims masks don’t work & there’s a cure for Covid-19. Instead of explaining the contradiction given he’s endorsed masks, Trump left the room. pic.twitter.com/k8jKdrI1oz— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) July 28, 2020
“This virus has a cure. It is called
hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax. I know you people want to talk about a
mask. Hello? You don’t need a mask. There is a cure.I tell all of you doctors
that are sitting down and watching Americans die. You’re like the good Nazi,
the good Germans that watched Jews get killed and you did not speak up.

“I’ve gotten all kinds of threats. Or
they’re going to report me to the bots. I say, you know what? I don’t care. And
if this is the hill where I get nailed on, I will get nailed on it. You can
kill me, you can do whatever, but I’m not going to let Americans die. And today
I’m here to say it, that America, there is a cure for COVID-19.”
