Police Arrests Doctor Louis Owien Who Claims Covid-19 Patient Deaths Due to Medication

Kapanlagi.com - The name of the doctor Louis Owien became the talk of netizens when he was invited to a talk show uploaded on the Youtube channel Hotman Paris Official, last Friday, July 9, 2021.

At that time, Hotman asked questions about Covid-19 to Dr. Louis. "The first question. As a doctor, do you believe in the existence of Corona?," asked Hotman Paris Hutapea.

Dr. Louis answered the question with an answer that sparked a debate among many netizens. According to him, the deaths of Covid-19 patients are more caused by interactions between drugs.

"No, I don't believe, sir. (The cause of death from covid-19 is) the interaction between drugs. If, for example, you open the data in the hospital, the administration of drugs is more than six kinds," said Dr. Louis.

1. Statement from Doctor Tirta

Doctor Tirta mentioned that Doctor Louis is considered to be spreading information that could potentially harm those around him. Through his Instagram account, Doctor Tirta stated that in fact, Doctor Louis is not registered with the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI).

"Mrs. Louis claims to be a doctor. After confirming with the chairman of the central IDI (Doctor Daeng) and I confirmed with the chairman of MKEK (Doctor Pukovisa), Mrs. Louis is not registered as a member of IDI. All doctors in Indonesia must be affiliated with the professional organization IDI. Even her STR has been inactive since 2017," said Doctor Tirta in a live Instagram video he uploaded last Sunday, (11/7).

To avoid becoming a controversy among the public, the Indonesian National Police (Polri) acted quickly to arrest Doctor Louis.
