On July 27, the president and his son Donald Trump, Jr. tweeted her viral videos
The younger Trump has had his twitter account suspended because of the video.
I am inspired by Dr. Immanuel’s personal journey and her speaking of truth about outpatient therapeutics for this scourge upon the world.
Whether HCQ or Ivermectin, she has shined a light on the negative humanitarian consequences that occur when selective powerful entities and organizations are given authority over an individuals right over their body.
Her message does not just pertain to the alleviation of human suffering and death, but to a broader discussion of the impact of those selective powerful entities denying the right of any form of self determination to live and thrive.
On a personal note about myself.
I live in the US and reside in a state where primary care physicians are tethered to large corporate institutions that bind their hands regarding treatment. Privately, they will say that HCQ, Ivermectin and the other lifesaving protocols are in their personal home stockpile for them and their families. However, they will be ostracized should they step out in truth like Dr. Immanuel.
Thank you for the truth you bring to the world.
The question I have is.
How can a man and wifey in there 60s with resource and mobility, get to a Clinician NOW to get Ivermectin, HCQ, Azithromycin in my personal medicine cabinet to save my wife and me?
How can I find a doctor to have a telemedicine consult? Not to be dramatic, but realistically if me or my wife fall to this disease we probably will die alone. Thank you,and may your territory and influence be expanded beyond measure.
