Facebook has taken down a post from President Donald Trump’s official page because it contained “false claims,” the company confirmed Wednesday.
In the video clip, Trump was interviewed on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends’ and claimed children are “almost immune” from coronavirus.
“If you look at children, children are almost — and I would almost say definitely — but almost immune from this disease.” He said, “They don’t have a problem. They just don’t have a problem.”

“This video includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19 which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation,” Andy Stone, a Facebook policy spokesperson told NBC News.
