Facebook and Twitter have removed a Trump video in which he says kids are 'immune' to coronavirus
. The content in question was a video clip of a Trump interview on Fox News Channel on Wednesday, uploaded by the Trump campaign, in which he claimed children are “virtually immune” to COVID-19.
The tweet “is in violation of the Twitter Rules on COVID-19 misinformation,” a Twitter spokeswoman said. “The account owner will be required to remove the Tweet before they can Tweet again.” In this case, the account owner is @TeamTrump, which originally posted the video. It is untrue that children are “almost immune” or “virtually immune” to COVD-19, according to medical experts. Kids have tended to become less sick when infected with coronavirus, but even if they show no symptoms they may still transmit the virus to others.says on its website
