"The video contains false claims that a group of people are immune to covid-19, it is a violation of our policy on harmful covid disinformation," a Facebook representative told Variety.

In the clip, President Donald Trump says that he thinks that schools should be kept open and that children have "much stronger immune systems than us" and that they are "practically immune" to the virus.

Twitter has also removed the same clip from its platform. It is the official account of Donald Trump's re-election campaign that has posted the clip, and a spokesperson for Twitter says that the account holder must delete the tweet before the account is allowed to tweet again, reports Variety
