This tweet (and the related website) seems to be from America's Frontline Doctors; they have been accused of quackery. See related HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23982139
1. Squarespace is a private entity. They have no obligation to leave your website online, similar to how you have no obligation to spend money at businesses you don't support.
2. The Twitter user in question is pushing propaganda about Hydroxychloroquine, along with clearly false information that is not backed by the scientific community.
4. Direct quote from FDA official statement linked above: "However, based on emerging and other scientific data, FDA does not recommend using HCQ or CQ to treat hospitalized patients with COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial."
You're kidding right? When is it ever okay to broadcast blatantly false information that obviously violates longitudes worth of pharmaceutical regulations set in place by the FDA, that's a rhetorical question by the way.
There's a reason that regulations for pharmaceutical companies exist, to prevent harm to consumers that don't have the aptitude to adequately evaluate the products that they're using themselves.
Some realize it, some don't, but Marxism and thought police are rampant here.
Just look at the comment above yours. You (anyone, not just the manufacturer) are not allowed to think or say that a drug may help a patient unless the government says it's OK. Even if you've observed it.
Government "experts" who have been mostly wrong (since they've contradicted one another at the same time, and themselves over time) are telling you, don't believe what these doctors have seen. Don't believe what's right in front of you, believe us.
Think about that critically for a bit.
The point isn't that these doctors are right, the point is these doctors should be heard and evaluated by the individuals.
Bottom line, if you get sick do you want a ventilator or HCQ?

It's sad. At one point HN had some high IQ people who could think for themselves.
Those days are long over as it seems to be full of commies who think they can program people to behave like machines.
