By: Lupa

A conspiratory video features a man claiming that 15 doctors died in the plane crash in Vinhedo (SP) on Friday (9), including 7 “genetic sequencing” specialists who were allegedly doing research on how to isolate a "highly infectious virus” — he does not specify which — and "dissolve the infectiousness" and "virulence" of COVID-19. This is false.
