The pop star claimed a coronavirus vaccine was being kept from public distribution to « let the rich get richer ».
Instagram has taken action against Madonna for sharing a coronavirus conspiracy theory to her more than 15 million followers.
The pop star claimed in a post that a vaccine for COVID-19 had already been found – but that it was being kept from public distribution to « let the rich get richer ».
The post was blurred by Instagram, with a caption describing it as « false information », before directing users to a page which debunked the claims.
While research teams around the world are hard at work to develop a vaccine for COVID-19, one does not yet exist.
The video shared by Madonna featured Dr Stella Immanuel, a doctor from Houston, who claims she has cured more than 300 people with the coronavirus using hydroxychloroquine.
