Videos from the Americas Frontline Doctors Summit have been removed from social media sites for spreading misinformation regarding the novel coronavirus. Video clips of a press conference on the Supreme event were going viral on July 27 as many shared some of the doctors speeches on social media promoting unproven treatments and the widespread reopening of schools and our society.
