JAKARTA - The Instagram account @Infobanglibali uploaded a video that caught the attention of netizens.
In the video, a nurse can be seen injecting a COVID-19 vaccine without injection into a young man. So, what are the facts?
After being traced, the video was apparently taken at the Mucho Lote Vaccination Center in Guayaquil, Ecuador on Sunday, April 25, 2021. It's true that men don't get vaccine shots from the nurse.
"Through the Google image search page, there was a news article from the media terchap.com explaining the viral video. Taken at the Mucho Lote Vaccination Center in Guayaquil, Ecuador," the turnbackhoaks report quoted VOI as saying, Monday, May 31. To make it funny, apparently the man was suspected of bribing a nurse to cut the queue to get a COVID-19 vaccination before it was his turn.
"However, the nurse gave him a fake injection instead. Literally stabbed a needle in his shoulder without actually injecting anything. This may be because the vaccine dose is very limited, and will be under close supervision so missing doses will be noticed," wrote turnbackhoaks.
The Secretary General of the Presidency of Ecuador, Jorge Wated Reshuan, confirmed that the nurse who administered the fake injection had been arrested. The man who recorded the video of himself was also arrested.
"From the search above, it can be concluded that the video of injecting blank vaccines is a hoax in the category of misleading content or misleading content. This is because the video did not occur in Indonesia," he said.
