The message about the bacterial nature of the coronavirus was unreliable causing increased blood clotting, were unreliable.
It is impossible to establish the original source of this information – the publication is distributed in all social networks, instant messengers and even in foreign media and is a copy of the same text, in which only the “source” of information changes. For example, from publication to publication, the study belongs to Tatar, Yakut, or Singapore scientists.
The material also says that WHO prohibits autopsy of bodies with coronavirus, although this is incorrect. There has never been such an order, and often the presence of COVID-19 in the body is detected only after an autopsy. In addition, on the websites of the WHO and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you can find instructions for collecting tissue samples and performing autopsies from deaths from coronavirus.
Moreover, a virus and a bacterium are different biological species: a virus is a parasite, and bacteria are autonomous. In addition, at the beginning of the pandemic, the specific shape of the coronavirus was established – a spherical body with crown thorns. Photos of the virus under a microscope are publicly available.
The doctor and TV presenter Yevgeny Komarovsky spoke about this fake back in May 2020. He emphasized that viruses and bacteria are different biological forms, and due to a lack of knowledge in the field of medicine, people are treated with antibiotics.
According to the fake spread on the network, in the treatment, which after the “discovery” allegedly began to be prescribed to patients, there are two drugs: aspirin and imromac. There is no second drug in the world, while the first is recognized as ineffective and even dangerous in the treatment of coronavirus, and anticoagulants (including aspirin) are included in the list of drugs for inpatient treatment approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation only if there is a risk of thrombosis.
Despite this, the publication has spread widely in social networks. It is also reprinted in various forums, changing only the source: for example, a scientific discovery, depending on the interpretation, was allegedly made in Singapore, Yakutia and Tatarstan. At the same time, the media publishes many denials of this information: Kazinform, Factchek, TV channel 24 and others.
The message was also denied by the Ministry of Health of Tatarstan and the Ministry of Health of Yakutia. In Tatarstan, they said that such a study was not carried out, and in Yakutia they indicated the transparency of treatment for COVID-19 and the existence of approved protocols for autopsy of bodies with coronavirus.
