YouTube suspended Republican Sen. Ron Johnson’s account after he promoted controversial COVID-19 treatments hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and criticized the current and previous administrations for ‘ignoring… robust research’ on generic drugs as cheater alternatives.
He said the Trump and Biden administrations not only ignored but worked ‘against robust research (on) the use of cheap, generic drugs to be repurposed for early treatment of Covid’ during a June 3 virtual appearance before the Milwaukee Press Club.
Snippets of the Wisconsin senator’s comments were posted on his YouTube page, which were flagged and removed by the company because they were ‘COVID-19 medical misinformation.’
