It was only a matter of time before Seth Meyers took “A Closer Look” at the woman who will
now forever be known as “Dr. Demon Sperm.”
“As the coronavirus pandemic has spread out of control, so has misinformation about it,” the
Late Night host began. “If you have Facebook, or an uncle who still wears his class ring, you’ve probably heard some of it.”
After running through some of the most “infamous and ludicrous” theories that have popped up over the course of the past few months, Meyers finally arrived at
Dr. Stella Immanuel, who claimed in a viral video this week that the unproven drug hydroxychloroquine is a miracle “cure” for COVID-19.
“Believe me, we all wish hydroxychloroquine actually worked,” the host said. “Everyone wishes there was a cure for coronavirus. No one wants to be trapped inside for this long. If hydroxychloroquine really worked I’d take an Uber Pool to Times Square to get coughed on by a tourist just for old time’s sake.”
But because the Trump administration has “failed” in its response to the pandemic and is “desperate for a magic fix that will make the crisis go away,” Meyers explained that the president and his allies have seemingly fallen head over heels for Dr. Immanuel. Donald Trump Jr. actually
had his Twitter account locked for 12 hours because he was using it to spread her misinformation.
