Brasilia, March 30 (IANS) Microblogging site Twitter has blocked two videos posted on Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro''s official handle showing his visit to several parts of capital Brasilia in violation of health recommendations to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
"This tweet is no longer available because it violated the Twitter Rules," says a message where the videos in question were.
In the two deleted videos on Sunday, the 65-year-old President defended the end of the confinement measures in effect in many of the states and the use of chloroquine to treat the disease, even though its effectiveness has still not been fully proven.
In a statement sent to local media, Twitter said it had recently included among its criteria for excluding tweets, content that contradicted public health information from official sources and could put people at greater risk of transmitting COVID-19.
The first of the deleted videos was shot in Taguatinga, one of the satellite cities of the Brazilian capital, and in which Bolsonaro was seen talking to a street vendor.
"What I have been hearing from people is that they want to work. What I have said from the beginning is that ''we are going to be careful, the over-65s stay at home''," the Brazilian leader said.
He said chloroquine, a drug used to treat malaria and other diseases, was working "everywhere" against the new virus.

After reading the week-old interview with Dr. Didier Raoult, the French doc who was basically the first Westerner to start using CQ/HCQ+Z-Packs to treat CV, I grudgingly have to starting looking at the conspiracy theory angles on all this. That interview should have been translated, discussed and linked to here in the US, but somehow it wasn’t. Why?

I have a friend who used to get regiments as a child, for Lupus and would have to go in regularly for eye checkups because of long term use possible side effects znd also had to keep an eye on kidney function (The hydroxychloroquine especially helps with the joint paint). For fighting Covid-19 we are talking approx only 5 days of use! That's not a drop in the bucket for those who have had to use it long term and still with few side effects.
Democrat scum are terrified this cure will work.
scum is an understatement too
