Beware of Misinformation: Verify Before You Believe
A false statement on social media claims that Singapore found that COVID-19 is a bacteria rather than a virus and that it has changed its treatment protocols to include aspirin. The Singapore Ministry of Health stated that this is completely false. The claim that aspirin will cure COVID-19 is likewise erroneous. The message appears to be part of a recurring misinformation pattern, which has previously been linked to countries such as Italy and Russia.
Editor’s Note: The recent propagation of a misleading message about COVID-19 in Singapore serves as an urgent reminder of the importance of remaining vigilant while consuming information online. Even if a piece of news looks to be from a reliable source, it is critical to confirm its authenticity. It’s simple to believe information that confirms our prior beliefs, but that doesn’t mean it’s accurate. In an era of widespread misinformation, people must go above and beyond to check facts, even if the news supports their beliefs. By staying vigilant and critically examining information before sharing it, people can help prevent the spread of falsehoods and ensure that what they consume is genuinely reliable.

The story in Singapore may have been based from the expose posted in a website in 2021 ( I can no longer find the link) that the spike proteins in some CoVid19 vaccines came from genetically modified E. Coli that multiplies quickly to mass produce the needed spike proteins then it is processed and extracted. The website claimed that a live genetically modified E. Coli bacterium have survived in some batches of the vaccine and spread from the vaccinated. My brother took aspirin when he got CoViD before the vaccines were available in the U.S. to prevent his blood from thickening due to CoViD infection. The Singaporean story could be true that CoViD19 spreads both through an airborne SARS-CoV 2 and through a genetically modified E. Coli bacterium that can be treated by Ivermectin and Azithromycin.
Hmmm.. something to think about. Thanks for sharing this! Hope you can find the link sometime.
I will try to find the exact website that says a live bacterium has infected some of the recipients of vaccines and spread from the vaccinated. Here are some of the references to genetically modified E. Coli:
