As Thailand battled a third wave of coronavirus infections, Facebook posts emerged purporting to show the summary of a meeting at a leading university, which apparently concluded the country would be âon its ownâ if Covid-19 case numbers continued to rise. The claim is false:Â Mahidol University said the posts were âfake newsâ and did not reflect the points raised in the meeting.
The claim was shared here on Facebook on May 9, 2021.
The text purports to show the summary from a meeting on the pandemic at Mahidol University, a leading research institution in the Thai capital Bangkok.
