The Ministry of Communication and Digital (Kemenkomdigi) has officially issued a clarification regarding rumors circulating in the community about the Hanta Virus. Narratives spreading across various digital platforms claim that the emergence of this virus is a deliberate scenario engineered by a global elite group as a population control instrument and a guise for pharmaceutical business interests.
Based on fact-checking conducted by an expert team, Kemenkomdigi confirmed that these claims have no scientific basis and are categorized as disinformation or a hoax. No valid evidence was found to support the conspiracy theory that the Hanta Virus is an engineered product for a world control agenda or specific economic motives.
For additional context, Hanta Virus is a zoonotic disease transmitted through contact with the droppings, urine, or saliva of infected rodents. This disease has long been known in the medical world and is not a new phenomenon that suddenly appeared as part of a global political scenario.
The ministry urges the public not to be easily provoked by content containing conspiracy theories from unverified sources. The public is expected to always refer to official information issued by health authorities such as the Ministry of Health or the World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure data accuracy regarding health issues.
