After the death of a student in Leipzig, the rumor spreads on Telegram about a possible further death at the school, which is linked to a corona vaccination. There is no evidence.
The “lateral thinker” scene is taking advantage of the death of a schoolboy in Leipzig on the Telegram platform to raise the mood again against corona vaccinations. At the beginning of the week, according to t-online information, a student at a Leipzig school had died.
On Friday, the news spread on Telegram that another student at the high school had collapsed shortly afterwards in class. On Telegram it is now said that it is completely unclear whether the student also died or just passed out.
The author of the message connects the collapse with a possible corona vaccination. However, there is no evidence for the allegations: the police were initially not aware of the incident at the school, as a police spokesman told t-online. The school did not want to comment on t-online request on Friday.
