Merdeka.com – An internal medicine specialist from Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh Province, Edi Hidayat asserted, drinking coconut water before or after receiving an injection of the Covid-19 vaccine to neutralize the function of the vaccine is absolutely not correct. According to him, it’s just a myth.
“So, the phenomenon of people drinking coconut water to prevent the function of the vaccine should be stopped. Because the function of the vaccine that enters the body is still there,” said Edi Hidayat in Nagan Raya, Sunday (4/7). As reported by Antara.
He explained that there is no relation between the vaccine and drinking coconut water if it aims to eliminate the function of the vaccine that has been injected into a person’s body.
Edi said that the vaccine that had been injected was not poison, as most people in the country thought, including Aceh.
Because the material content in the Covid-19 vaccine is an antigen that is inserted into the human body, with the aim of forming antibodies, in order to strengthen a person’s immunity and be immune to viruses.
“So, don’t think about drinking coconut water to neutralize toxins. Vaccines are not poisons,” said Edi Hidayat.
He explained that 100 milliliters of coconut water contains a number of compounds such as sodium, phosphorus, calcium, carbohydrates, and other vitamins to strengthen immunity.
Because the vitamins in coconut water function as antioxidants to prevent free radicals in the body, and the same function as the Covid-19 vaccine that has been injected into the community.
“What the public must understand is that we are vaccinated so we don’t get infected with Covid-19, as well as prevent death. Even if for example after being vaccinated against Covid-19, the effect is very small, because our body’s immunity has been strengthened,” he said
However, for people who like to drink coconut water to increase immunity, this is okay. “As long as people don’t think that drinking coconut water will reduce the function of the Covid-19 vaccine, that is a mistake and absolutely not true,” he said. [noe]
