“A text on Facebook warned netizens against alleged members of the ISIS group disguising themselves as healthcare workers to infect and kill people with “AIDS virus” under the pretense of giving vaccinations.”
What Vera Files found
In a July 22 advisory, the Department of Health-Cagayan Valley Center for Health Development debunked the claim, saying that spreading the “AIDS virus” through vaccinations is “misleading and malicious.” The DOH and the Philippine National Police have debunked similar chain messages as early as 2018.
