The Anti-Fake News Center has debunked a warning message spreading on social media, claiming that PCR tests are brain-damaging. According to the fact-checking conducted by the Neurology Institute, Department of Medical Services, Ministry of Public Health, such claims are false information.
The Institute of Neurology clarified that while testing for viruses in the nasal cavity (Swab Test) can pose a risk of harm to the nasal cavity wall if not done with caution, the notion of it causing damage to the brain is untrue. It was emphasized that the chances of a swab penetrating the brain or causing injury to other parts of the brain, such as the Medula Oblongata, are very rare.
Additionally, the institute addressed the evolving nature of the coronavirus, stating that the infectious and disease-causing properties of the virus vary over time due to genetic changes and mutations. Therefore, the public is urged to refrain from sharing misleading information and to seek accurate information from credible sources, such as the Neurology Institute, Department of Medical Services, Ministry of Public Health.
In summary, the Neurology Institute reassures the public that when conducted with care, Swab Test for viruses in the nasal cavity poses a very rare risk of harm to the nasal cavity wall or the olfactory nerve connected to the brain.
