The following was shared on Facebook by old aunt. No source. I see Bill Gates is the boggy man.
Have fun.
"Italy has allegedly discovered covid is not a virus, but a bacterium. It clots the blood and reduces the oxygen saturation from dispersing throughout the body. They went against the World Health Organization's "law" that no bodies be autopsied. When Italian Ministry of Health ordered many autopsies, they found the blood was clotted in all of the patients veins. They immediately started using aspirin 100mg and a coagulant medication. And have had immense success. 14,000 people were released from the hospital as "healthy" and covid free. Italy is demanding Bill Gates and the World health Organization be held accountable for "crimes against humanity" for misleading, misdirecting, and withholding life saving information from the world, which cost the lives of thousands. Ventilators and ICU units were not necessary. A mandated vaccine is not necessary. Covid19 is a bacterium, easily
treated with aspirin and coagulant. Spread the word! Make this global. Hopefully our president will learn about this and do something about it! Before we lose all of our constitutional freedoms. Hope this is true"
This could be false news, but it does make sense.
Ventilators killed COVID patients. We've been lied to from the start. So many rumors, opinions and wrongful death acts, killing of patients, etc...We do know that it steals oxygen from brains, cells, blood, lungs.
Let someone else who is more capable and get to the bottom of this! Let us not take orders from health organizations who think they know everything! That's impossible!!!
They remove the doctors from social media who speak of the facts and their 40 plus years' of experiences because they want control and the truth not be told. We must explore all avenues.
I pray if this isn't the truth, it'll trigger something in some top medical-care official's noggen. Amen! We can't give up and keep relying on no factual evidence or proofs.
Update: See post #34 below if you are interested in the source of this Facebook silliness.

(10,749 posts)Should I believe the scientists around the world who have repeatedly described this virus? Oh, sure, they have multi-million dollar machines, some in multi-billion dollar facilities. And I guess they have these degree things that say MD or PhD or some such.
Or do I believe this random person on Facebook who doesn't know shit. Wouldn't know a bacterium (sounds more intelligent that bacteria, btw) from a virus if it bit her in the ass. Who is almost certainly making this shit up for reasons known only to her.
This is a toughie.
Call me a sheeple, but I'm going with the doctors and scientists around the work with their degrees and machines.

(52,253 posts)Some of this is true. Some of the severe cases and deaths have resulted from clotting, and anti-coagulants can help in those cases. Some of those treated with anti-coagulants may well have made a full recovery, those the anti-coagulants didn't cure them, they merely kept the clotting under control while they fought off the virus.
Of course, the conclusion that this means Covid-19 is a bacterium is patently false, and also this does not mean that anti-coagulants can cure all cases of Covid-19.

smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)the piece recommends "aspirin and coagulants ", which would do the opposite. "Coagulents" was used twice, so it probably wasn't just a typo.
You're right though. Sounds like this person just found out one little snippet of information about the disease and decided to run like a deranged Trumpster with it, making up their own truth as they go along.

"Why do you believe this? Do you really think healthcare workers are trying to kill people? Really?"
And what is so very hard is that the people who come up with these lies are doing so to support Trump's nasty little ego.

They are THAT programmed, and that stupid.
Frustratedlady
(16,254 posts)I would imagine some patients are receiving blood thinners, since the blood clots are a problem, but this writing is certainly messed up. She wants you to take aspirin (to thin the blood) and coagulant?
Makes doctors Fauci and Birx that much more important.
csziggy
(34,136 posts)You're right - there have been some indications that some anti-coagulants may help, but given the rest of the bullshit in the part quoted in the OP, the aunt doesn't have a hint of a clue.
I'd be inclined to believe what Dr. Fauci has to say. Dr. Birx, on the other hand, has no credibility left after letting Dolt45 make so many unfounded claims in front of her without calling him on the lies.

False information that claims COVID-19 is caused by a bacteria and can be easily treated started spreading by text message, and is now viral on social media. Actually, COVID-19 is caused by a virus and there is no treatment for it.

(15,090 posts)Whats behind it, besides a great deal of ignorance, is a desire for a silver bullet, a magical cure that will make it all right.
As an aside, one of the people posting this was also sure cicadas were responsible for Covid-19 somehow.

COVID-19 falsely linked to bacteria
https://www.factrakers.org/post/covid-19-falsely-linked-to-bacteria
A tabloid and Facebook groups in the Philippines have been sharing a false claim that Italys health ministry has discovered that COVID-19 is caused by bacterianot a virussupposedly amplified by 5G radiation.
The erroneous claim, which began circulating in the Philippines on May 24, also says medicines for pain, inflammation and blood clots, including aspirin and paracetamol, are enough to cure patients who purportedly die mainly of thrombosis or blood clotting.

It's a long article, as well as having over a dozen external links related not to just this article/topic, but one of the best coverage of this whole virus thing since January.
Definitely worth a click, and if nothing else - just check the subject matter and sources at the end of the article.
BTW - I didn't believe the OP's article was accurate by the second sentence . . .

The danger lies in gullible participants who believe almost everything in print/online is true.
I've deleted a few friends on FB because they post nonsense and/or nothing I'm interested in.
Others, because they are friends in real life, not people met on line get "snoozed" for 30 days - or "unfollowed" (like a permanent snooze, but reversible) if I don't like, or am not interested in most of their posts. Keeps my Page fairly enjoyable/useful . . . .
Think of FB like an axe. It's damn useful and productive if you know how to use it, but you can hurt yourself and/or others if you are careless with it

(11,949 posts)It's just more disinformation to try to make the lowest information folks among us (read as Trumps base) a reason to distrust information about the virus.
Have no doubt, as much as Russia loves having Trump they would happily let him lose the next election if it means that a million Americans died.
