Twitter on Monday morning deleted Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s viral tweet posted earlier this month touting the drug hydroxychloroquine as having been used by one New York hospital to “very promising results” and claiming that one “seriously ill” patient had a Lazarus-like recovery from the coronavirus thanks to it.
On two consecutive nights earlier this month, Ingraham hosted an oncologist she described as being “with Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City” to promote the anti-malaria drug that President Donald Trump has peddled as a “game changer” in treating COVID-19.
The primetime cable star repeatedly touted the doctor’s credentials and purported findings on the drug’s effectiveness, later repeating his claims to other TV guests and on social media. But, as it turns out, the doctor is not at all employed by Lenox Hill.
On her March 19 show, when Ingraham first interviewed that oncologist, Dr. William Grace, he claimed that, thanks to hydroxychloroquine, “we have not had a death in our hospital. We have probably close to a 100 patients, and not had any deaths.” And during a later segment with a different doctor, Ingraham referred back to Grace’s claims about Lenox Hill, adding that he told her about one near-death individual at the hospital who was miraculously saved by the drug.
“One patient was described as Lazarus getting up after—after he was, he was like on death’s door,” she breathlessly exclaimed. “And they started getting a protocol of hydroxychloroquine at Lenox Hill, and it suddenly like Lazarus, up from the grave. I mean that’s an actual case.”
Ingraham was so impressed by that anecdote that she tweeted about it the next morning. “Lenox Hill in New York among many hospitals already using Hydroxychloroquine with very promising results,” Ingraham wrote on March 20.

Freelance author Nancy Levine reported that Lenox Hill informed her that “Dr. Grace is not employed by the Hospital. He is a private physician who has admitting privileges. His views are his own and do not represent the hospital.” A hospital spokesperson confirmed this statement with The Daily Beast.
“touting”
Nope. No bias there.
This ain’t the first time Ingraham has had her Twitter account blocked.
It won’t be the last.
Twitter hates conservatives and the truth they tell.
The medical experts of Twitter
Wonder when they will start censoring Fauci?
RE: Dr. Grace is not employed by the Hospital. He is a private physician who has admitting privileges.
So,what does admitting privileges mean?
Does this mean he can go to the hospital to treat his patients?
Democrat scum are desperately smearing anyone who discusses this medicine.
I read that the. FDA recognized it this morning. Is that not the case?
Twitter, the enemy within and one of the greatest forces for evil, along with Soros.
I tend to post a lot on a site called Harmony-central. It’s all musicians and tends to lean hard left, but their posting policy is stringent and tightly moderated. Anyone can post on the political forum but you have to follow the rules. No ad-hominem and if you make a statement of fact, you may be called out to supply a supporting link.
Anyway, for the first time ever, I was asked by the mods to stop posting stuff saying this is not anything to panic over. I wasn’t breaking the rules. They just didn’t want people to get “complacent”.
I stand by every post I did but decided to just bow out of the site indefinitely. This virus has exposed many internet sites for just how free they really will allow speech to be. Even here I’ve seen a few posters want other posters silenced because they were not buying into the panic.
yes he is a Dr there .
He can admit and practice
few dr are directly employed any more
Touting anecdotal ineffective risky treatments. That is the MSM narrative.
Orange Cure Bad
The lefties who run Twitter do not want a cure!
They want this to continue just long enough to hurt Trump and destroy the economy and capitalism.
Once they think they have succeeded (they will be wrong, but don’t tell them) then - its a miracle! Hydroxychloriquine and Z-pak works! Who would have known??
Yes.
The media and the Democrats are scared stiff that Chloroquine will actually work and take away their only hope for a win in November.
Typical liberals: Book burning free-speech censors.
Too late, it had already been retweeted by Trump
Excuse me but your bias is showing.
I noticed the hospital did not refute the claims made by the doctor....how telling
Sounds to me like she is simply reporting. Not touting (which means attempting to sell and carries an invariably negative connotation.}
