Madonna's post blocked by Instagram for spreading Covid-19 misinformation
Madonna had claimed that a proven vaccine had been available for months but it was being kept secret.
Superstar singer Madonna has been censored on Instagram for spreading false information about a supposed cure for Covid-19 after she shared clips from a video also re-tweeted by Donald Trump.
In her post to 15.4 million followers, Madonna claimed that a proven vaccine had been available for months but it was being kept secret "to let the rich get richer and the poor and sick get sicker."
She attached a video of US physician Stella Immanuel who praised hydroxychloroquine as a miracle coronavirus cure.
Various clips of Immanuel's speech have spread rapidly on the internet in recent days, but hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, has not been proved effective against Covid-19.
