IPOH (Sept 29): Perak police have dismissed as fake an allegation in a viral video that two students here have died after getting vaccinated against Covid-19.
Perak Police chief Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said a check revealed that the students – one male and the other female – of a school here had died before the vaccination of adolescents began in the state on Sept 20.
“The female student died of Covid-19 on July 18 while the male student died of a heart ailment on Sept 17.
“The female student had diabetes and chronic hypertension and was in a critical condition for two months at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital here,” he said when contacted today.
Mior Faridalathrash said the police will conduct a probe into the video that has been circulating since yesterday.
