This is a report from Full Fact, a fact-checking website. We carry this article as many readers have asked us about Facebook posts which contain many falsehoods about the Coronavirus and how it is transmitted.
“We’ve seen variations of the text being shared on social media and via blog posts. Almost all of the claims—that Covid-19 is caused by a bacteria, that it is related to 5G, that autopsies were banned, and Italy broke rules to perform them—are false.
“Italy has become the first Country in the world to conduct an “AUTOPSY” on a Covid-19 dead body, & after carrying out a comprehensive Scientific investigation they found out that Covid-19 as a VIRUS doesn’t Exist, it’s all just a Global Scam…”
Italy was not the first country to perform a post-mortem on a Covid-19 patient. Forensic scientists in Wuhan, China performed post-mortems as early as February 16, which was before the first detected Covid-19 death in Italy, on February 21.
Italian post-mortems did not discover that the virus causing Covid-19 doesn’t exist. People are actually dying as a result of Amplified Global 5G Electromagnetic Radiation Poisoning.
Covid-19 is caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2, not 5G. The symptoms of Covid-19 and radiation poisoning are completely different.
5G is the next generation of wireless network technology. 5G mobile data is transmitted over radio waves—a small part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum (which includes microwaves, visible light and X-rays). These radio waves are non-ionising, meaning they don’t damage the DNA inside cells.
Public Health England has said that there’s no “convincing evidence” that exposure below the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation guidelines can cause adverse health effects. These guidelines go up to 300GHz, whereas the maximum for 5G will only be in the tens of GHz.
“Italian doctors, disobeyed the world health law (W.H.O), Which is NOT to carry out AUTOPSIES”
It’s not true that the World Health Organisation (WHO) said that post mortems could not take place. The WHO released guidance on March 24 on safety measures for managing bodies and performing post-mortems on patients who had died of Covid-19.
It’s true that Italian doctors also performed post-mortems on Covid-19 patients.
“Italy defeats the so-called Covid-19, which is nothing other than “Disseminated intravascular coagulation”(Thrombosis)
And the way to combat it, that is, its cure, is with “Antibiotics, Anti-inflammatories and Anticoagulants” (ASPIRIN)”
The idea that Covid-19 patients have been misdiagnosed, and actually have disseminated intravascular coagulation, is incorrect. Disseminated intravascular coagulation can be present in Covid-19 pneumonia patients, but it’s not the case that patients have that instead of Covid-19.
Antibiotics are not used to directly treat viruses, though can be given to Covid-19 patients who are suffering from secondary bacterial infections. The anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen is being tested to see whether it can help Covid-19 patients, and the anticoagulant heparin has been used in some cases to treat Covid-19 illness. Aspirin can be used for pain relief in adults if they have a cough or cold but is not a specific cure or treatment for Covid-19.
“Something else, according to Italian pathologists. The ventilators and the intensive care unit were never needed.”
We could find no record of Italian doctors or pathologists saying this. There was widespread coverage and studies of how many Covid-19 patients needed intensive care treatment in the country. Although there has been some debate about how ventilators are used, Covid-19 can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, which will often lead to needing a ventilator.
“In Italy the so-called global COVID-19 pandemic is revealed not as a virus.”
Covid-19 illness is caused by a virus. Scientists have been studying the disease and its cause for several months now, and have sequenced the genetic material of the virus.
“If they get to contract the Covid-19 which is NOT A VIRUS as they have made us believe,but a bactarium which actually has been amplified by 5G electromagnetic radiation that also produces inflammation and hypoxia.”
It’s true that people with Covid-19 can get secondary infections caused by bacteria, but the bacteria themselves don’t cause Covid-19. There’s absolutely no evidence that 5G radiation has any effect on the immune system, or Covid-19 illness.
Hypoxia, which is a general term for low oxygen in the body, can be a symptom of Covid-19. It’s not clear what exactly the post means by inflammation—some serious effects of Covid-19 can be pneumonia, which is inflammation of the lung tissue, and some other fatal effects can be generally referred to as types of inflammation, for example sepsis.
“[People with Covid-19] Should do the following: They are going to take Aspirin 100mg and Apronax or Paracetamol”
Aspirin has not been proved to be an effective treatment for Covid-19, however, there is at least one study looking into this.
‘Apronax’ seems to be a brand name for the drug naproxen, which reduces swelling in people with conditions like gout. This isn’t yet recommended for treating Covid-19 either, but a trial on its efficacy is taking place in France.
