A woman named Pam recently expressed her belief that “med beds,” a fictional healing technology, are real, finding hope in Donald Trump’s social media posts. Over the weekend, Trump shared an AI-generated video on TruthSocial promoting these medbeds, suggesting that every American would receive a medbed card granting them access to advanced healthcare facilities. Although Trump deleted the video shortly after posting, many of his followers interpreted its removal as an indication that the medbeds would soon be available, sharing speculative theories and expressing enthusiasm about this supposed healing tool.
Health experts have dismissed the idea of medbeds as a fantastical promise that continues to go unfulfilled. Jonathan Jarry, a science communicator, noted that the allure of this technology has persisted despite the absence of any real evidence. TruthSocial has become a hub for various dubious health claims, where older users with strong faith in Trump often promote unproven treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as alternatives to scientifically supported medical options. Posts from users claiming to have used these drugs instead of chemotherapy display a concerning trend in disregarding established medical advice.
The platform hosts a variety of false health claims, including those promoting “vitamin B17,” a fake cancer cure, and “Indian black salve,” which the FDA warns can cause severe harm. Even prior to Trump’s video, discussions about medbeds were already prevalent, with users sharing supposed updates and illustrations related to this non-existent technology.
