Davis’s mother, a COVID-19 conspiracy theorist, gave her child hydroxychloroquine, the treatment hailed as a miracle drug by President Trump.

So they decided to give her a dose of hydroxychloroquine, the medicine President Trump has touted as a miracle drug to cure COVID-19. (The FDA withdrew its support for hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment last month, saying it was “unlikely to be effective in treating” the disease while presenting “serious side effects.”) Then they took her to Gulf Coast Medical Center, where she was immediately transferred to a pediatric ICU.

The case’s notoriety is in part due to initial erroneous press reports suggesting that Davis contracted the virus at a “COVID party” at a local church.

Because the coroner’s report stated that Davis’s parents had given her azithromycin, a potential COVID-19 treatment, after the event, some media outlets initially concluded she had attended the event with the intention of contracting the illness.

We hope to see you there!” (A spokesperson for the church confirmed Davis was present at the event; in an interview with NBC2, Pastor David Thomas said the church wasn’t going to be policing the event and it was attendees’ responsibility to socially distance.)

Although Davis’s mother, Carole Brunton Davis, has removed her Facebook page, screen grabs from her social media posted on Twitter indicate that she had posted a link to a website called Don’t Mask Our Kids, expressing anti-mask sentiment

While her daughter was in the hospital, according to the screen grabs, Brunton Davis also said she was outraged that the hospital refused to give her hydroxychloroquine, with the doctors “citing ‘new studies’ [quotes hers] that it does not work and can be harmful.”

In a cached post on CVS Pharmacy’s Facebook page from 2016 found by Rolling Stone, Brunton Davis also said she would be boycotting the pharmacy due to the 2016 policy from Target, which owns CVS, allowing transgender customers and employees to use the bathrooms of their choice
