A video by Stella Immanuel, an American doctor claiming that COVID-19 has a cure has gone viral this week. But Namibia Fact Check is warning the public to be more critical of what they consume. Editor of Namibia Fact Check, Frederico Links says videos like these are polluting the information environment. Particularly, during a pandemic saying the last thing people need right now, is confusion. In the video the Texas-based doctor claims that there is a cure for COVID-19. It is a mixture of Hydroxychloroquine, zinc and a certain antibiotic. She has allegedly treated over 350 COVID-19 patients and non have died. Namibia Fact Check says the claims are unfounded, adding that it's American politics at work. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump was advertising Hydroxychloroquine as a cure for Coronavirus. Links said, "it appears to be an attempt to prop up the US president Donald Trump as criticism has grown of his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US. Its important to note that the US has done spectacularly poorly in terms of how it has handled the pandemic." Sites like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook have been removing the video from their sites. Links says Namibians should question the credibility of content before sharing. He further said, "she is also a pastor, if you look at some of the promotional material for her church its things like driving out demons and countering witchcraft, among others, so we really ought to be a lot better now at identifying falsehoods and disinformation, but it seems we are not and this certainly is disheartening for me." Namibia Fact Check is an independent initiative that aims to verify public statements and media reports.
