JAKARTA - Information about a man who died from eating durian a day after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination circulated on social media.
The one who uploaded it is a Facebook account, @Hilarius Denny Albert. In his narration, the uploader invites the public to be careful.
"Tell family and friends not to eat durian before or after vaccination. My friend in the garden was vaccinated and came back and ate durian the next day and died. Better to know and be careful. Life is precious, because ignorance will kill him and sad," wrote the account as reported by turnbackhoaks, Tuesday, July 13.
The upload, which was shared on June 25, 2021, has received 51 attention. So, is this information true?
Based on the search results, the information in the WhatsApp conversation which was then uploaded to the Facebook account was apparently not true. Quoting from hmetro.my, the man from Malaysia died of a heart attack while waiting for the food he ordered at a restaurant.
“While waiting for the food he ordered, the man suddenly fell from his seat and became unconscious. The restaurant owner is concerned with contacting the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) before the man who was killed was confirmed dead by the HKL Medical Assistant," said Beh Eng Lai, Head of Sentul Regional Police Assistant Commissioner, as quoted from turnbackhoaks.
In addition, the Malaysian Ministry of Health through its official Twitter account has confirmed that the information circulating through WhatApp is a hoax.
"From the various facts above, Hilarius Denny Albert's Facebook account upload is categorized as wrong content," wrote turnbackhoaks.
