A woman from the UK and her four children drank their own urine in hopes of protecting themselves from the coronavirus.

According to her, a video about the protective properties of urine was sent to her via WhatsApp, Newsweek.com reported.

The woman noted that she does not trust the COVID-19 vaccine and prefers to rely on traditional methods of treatment.

This incident further confirms the fears of politicians and health professionals that false information disseminated could affect the spread of coronavirus vaccines and people's decisions about whether to vaccinate or not.

The woman believed that Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda are creating a COVID-19 vaccine that could be dangerous for her family.

Meanwhile, Bill Gates and his companies are not engaged in the development of vaccines against coronavirus, and existing vaccines developed in different countries of the world have proven their safety in research.
