Anti-vaccine
hoax features photo of famous porn star as doctor, becomes butt of jokes
Coconuts Jakarta - January

The anti-vaccine movement in
Indonesia is unfortunately all too real, blamed for being one of the biggest
factors behind the deadly outbreak of diphtheria in the country that has
killed dozens since late last year.
Anti-vaxxers in Indonesia
often cite religious reasons for refusing vaccines, believing in and spreading
hoaxes such as a pernicious one about vaccines containing traces of pig
DNA, making them forbidden in Islam. But there are other kinds of conspiracy
theories being spread to turn people against vaccinations as well, such
as this one that was first posted in June of last year but which has recently
become the subject of much online mockery.
The caption of the post summarizes
the content of the article it links to, saying that an American doctor
named Dr Bernard Mahfoudz is completely against vaccines as he believes
that they lower people's drive. If vaccines were to be given to people
fighting in a war, then their fighting spirit would diminish in a short
time.
Beyond the lack of any actual
scientific evidence to back that up and the fact that the article was posted
on a Blogspot page, keen-eyed netizens recently figured out who Dr Bernard
is.
What they learned is that,
first, Dr. Bernard doesn't actually exist, and second, the photo said to
be him is actually that of famous American porn star Johnny Sins.
In case you're sin-free from
porn, Sins achieved meme stardom a while back as "the most talented man
in the world", as his role in porn movies include him playing a cop, a
teacher, and – you guessed it – a doctor, among other roles.
This guy's reaction to the
hoax probably sums up how most people feel about it:
I have to share oxygen with
people who believe this kind of information. pic.twitter.com/vs5Eq9BDYh

Our favorite piss take on
the hoax though has got to be Twitter thread by Victor Kamang (a well known
satirist on social media in Indonesia), who gave hilarious context to screenshots
from Johnny Sins' numerous porn scenes, weaving them into a story detailing
his amazing journey from anti-vaccine medical professional to the rest
of his incredible career.

Even though there were many
temptations from women while he was on duty, Dr Bernard Mahfoudz is able
to resist them. When asked what his secret was, he replied: "worship".
