David Icke (see previous post) has previously referenced Dr Andrew Kaufman to support his claims. Dr Kaufman produced a number of videos making similar false claims – that the existence of COVID-19 has never been proved, that the tests are inaccurate, that deaths have been exaggerated and that the virus is not real, but rather represents normal exosomes and microvesicles that the body produces. Unfortunately these claims have spread ‘virally’ (pun intended) worldwide including amongst Muslims via social media, WhatApp and PDFs.*

Note that Dr Kaufman (who calls himself a ‘natural healing consultant’) is in fact trained as a psychiatrist and does not work in the field of microbiology or virology (which would be relevant to this discussion).

This video nicely explains the errors of Dr Kaufman:

*(please, please be careful about people who spread such false claims in our community. Their sources are not trustworthy or properly trained in the fields they talk about. Stick to the advice of the Scholars and the approach of Muslim experts and doctors).

Note that David Icke is a known conspiracy theorist who claims to be the “son of the Godhead” and that a reptilian race has taken over the world via the ‘New World order’ etc. Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke

Lately he has been spreading misinformation about coronavirus, saying that the virus isn’t really real or dangerous, that the testing for it is fake etc.

These claims have been nicely debunked in the following video:

Excellent discussion of the symptoms and treatment of coronavirus, and of the precautions we should all be taking (in Urdu):
