Instagram has disabled the account of Dr. Christiane Northrup, a best-selling author and prominent gynecologist, for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines, according to the social media platform’s parent company.
“This account was removed for breaking our rules on COVID and vaccine misinformation,” said a spokesperson for Facebook, which owns Instagram, via e-mail on Friday.
Northrup, a resident of Yarmouth, Maine, didn’t immediately respond to voice and e-mail messages seeking comment. The Portland Press Herald first reported on Instagram’s move to nix her account.
