There are many people who still do not believe in SARS-CoV-2 or in the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and, without thinking about the consequences, use social networks to spread false rumors without scientific support or evidence.
It was last August 11 when different media reported that Mexican actress and singer Paty Navidad had been admitted to the hospital, due to complications from the COVID-19.
According to a quantitative analysis of the social network Twitter, it was observed that from August 8 to 13, 2021, both the newspaper El Universal and El Heraldo de México were the main centers for the dissemination of news on this social network.
The Peninsula 360 Press investigation, in which journalists and data scientists Eduardo Paz (Mexico) and Paola Ricaurte (Ecuadorian with studies at Harvard) collaborated, identified that almost immediately, mainly on Twitter, different users noted that throughout the pandemic the actress had made statements undermining vaccination.
In addition, since the last U.S. elections, the host had already made false statements about the then presidential candidate Joe Biden, and even assured that members of the Democratic Party, including former President Barack Obama, participated in satanic cults that included pedophilia among their practices.
Once the pandemic caused by COVID-19 began, the presenter made controversial statements such as that the "supposed virus" was a fraud, or that the vaccine was intended to decrease the population, sterilize it and enhance diseases.
All this, as part of a plan aligned to a globalist, communist and satanic agenda, led by investor George Soros, billionaire Bill Gates, and joined by the president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, he assured.
Through her Twitter account, Paty Navidad also expressed that the serious illness caused by COVID-19 could be easily cured with "guava tea and aspirin", which earned her the suspension of her account.
Disbelief about COVID-19: a boomerang effect
Thus, from the moment the news of his hospitalization due to severe complications from the coronavirus broke, Twitter users recalled his statements and disbelief about COVID-19 and began to mock him.
Of all these messages the most popular on this social network was generated by a user who retweeted a video with the following comment: "I hope you can send it to our friend Paty Navidad and to all those who could get vaccinated but do not get vaccinated".
In the video, a middle-aged man can be seen claiming that his wife was unable to receive treatment for a chronic illness due to hospital overcrowding with COVID-19 patients.
The person questions why so many people don't believe in the virus or still have disbelief about the protection provided by COVID-19 vaccines as a preventative measure, but do trust that doctors can cure them when it's too late.
It is noteworthy that so far, the video has more than 23 thousand 600 retweets, six thousand 500 quotes, more than two thousand comments and 76 thousand 500 likes.
While recently, the actress posted through a story on Instagram that she was already recovering from the disease. Take care of yourselves, this virus does exist and I had to check it out because of the bad luck," she said.
