Has Madonna lost her mind? In a now-deleted Instagram post, she had posted a video of Dr. Stella Immanuel, the physician who has falsely stated that hydroxychloroquine is a cure for Covid-19 and that masks don’t help to reduce transmission of the virus.
I am sure you have heard about this batshit crazy Houston doctor who has become a star when Donald Trump retweeted her video.
‘The Truth will set us all Free! (Notice how this info is being censored.’ Madonna wrote on her Instagram, ‘But some people don’t want to hear the truth. Especially the people in power who stand to make money from this long drawn out search for a vaccine. Which has been found and proven and has been available for months. They would rather let fear control the people and let the rich get richer and the poor and sick get sicker. This woman is my hero. Thank you Stella Immanuel’
I haven’t seen the video that was featured in the post, but we know it was showing Immanuel claiming to have successfully treated more than 350 patients with hydroxychloroquine, something that has been largely discredited by different studies.
There are obviously many problems with this declaration… Not only Madonna has joined the ranks of the anti-vax conspiracists but she is praising a deranged woman who has claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches, a woman who has claimed that alien DNA is used in medical treatments and that scientists are preparing a vaccine to prevent people from being religious.
We are not talking about simple medical disagreements, we are talking about dark obscurantism, middle-age beliefs, and a woman who certainly should not be a doctor. How did Immanuel even manage to graduate from medical school?
Madonna calls Dr Immanuel her hero while spreading conspiracy theories related to a vaccine that doesn’t exist yet! No, rich people are not retaining a vaccine formula in order to install fear and control, this is damaging misinformation coming from the shadiest corners of the dark web.
The great Annie Lennox had left this comment on Madonna’s deleted Instagram post, that could read:
‘This is utter madness!!! I can’t believe that you are endorsing this dangerous quackery. Hopefully, your site has been hacked and you’re just about to explain it…’
The sad part is that Madonna wasn’t probably hacked, and the best proof is that, while it is now gone, she had re-posted the post after Instagram deleted it, adding in her caption ‘(Notice how this info is being censored’… So unless Madonna comes up and declares she has been hacked, I don’t believe it is the case, and since this happened yesterday night, she would have plenty of time to do so.
Interestingly, according to the Independent, Donald Trump Jr was suspended from Twitter after calling the video of Stella Immanuel a ‘must-watch,’ … so shouldn’t Madonna be suspended from Instagram too?
With her 15.4M followers, it was very irresponsible for Madonna to spread such disinformation, but she probably believes that crap, and that’s the saddest part of the story. She used to be more informed, when she released the album ‘Like A Prayer’ in1989, a card insert called ‘The Facts About AIDS,’ was included… and, guess what, the facts were correct, she was ahead of her time. Now she has fallen for quackery and witch doctor? This is truly a sign of decline, not so much a sign of Madonna’s decline but, because such trash can spread like fire on social media, it is a sign of the US decline overall.
