Twitter flags Trump's false claim about his Covid-19 immunity. Facebook, however, does nothing

Source: CNN

Twitter just added a warning label to a tweet from President Donald Trump that claimed, without evidence, he is immune to coronavirus after his physician cleared him to resume public activities.

"A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can't get it (immune), and can't give it. Very nice to know!!!" Trump wrote on Twitter Sunday.

He also claimed immunity in an interview on Fox News where he said he believes he will be immune for "maybe a long time, maybe a short time, could be a lifetime."

There is no evidence that people are immune to coronavirus if they have been infected once, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC specifically cautions people not to assume they are immune.

I’ve heard it’s cesspool of misinformation and the orange menace is all over in ads.

Fuckerberg is a greedy enabler, like the GOP. I hope Warren is going to go after him and shut him down if Biden wins. He has willingly helped to destroy our democracy for his own personal gain. Traitor!

Boycott Fakebook!

I saw him on TV saying that. There is no doubt he said it. He thinks he is immune! There is no evidence of that, except what goes on in his own mind. He's as nuts as can be.

There are 5 years old capable of learning from mistakes. What's wrong with this idiot who is, unfortunately, OUR ELECTED PRESIDENT? Oh, Gawd!

Keep doing our prevention interventions. Let him get sick again. And, VOTE THE IDIOT OUT OF OFFICE.

Can you say, "Idiocracy?"
