It was on Tuesday that Västerbottensbon received a folder with the mail where it is alleged, among other things, that the body's DNA changes after receiving the vaccine against covid-19.
Sender: Region Västernorrland.
The addressee quickly became suspicious and immediately contacted the Västernorrland Region.
Regional Director Åsa Bellander takes what happened very seriously.
Pre-stamped government envelopes
- It is partly serious that someone came over and illegally used our pre-stamped government envelopes, which is actually theft of property.
It is also at least as serious to spread this type of disinformation, which in the worst case can affect the willingness to vaccinate, she says on rvn.se.
- We are of course very serious about someone sending out this type of misleading and false information about the vaccination work in the name of the region.
The spread is unclear
It is still unclear how widespread the fake mail is.
- We do not know if it is just a few individual letters or thousands of letters that have been sent. At the moment, we only know about this case, but more may appear in the next few days. I would therefore like to urge everyone who may have received a letter like this to contact us, says Åsa Bellander and emphasizes that 1177.se always has updated and fact-checked information about everything related to the pandemic and vaccinations against covid-19.
