Egyptian Army Engineering Authority (EA) is organising a press conference tomorrow at the Qubba Military Hospital at 10:00am. According to Youm7 and Watan they will announce new information about 'their successes in the treatment of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C' using their newly invented devices.

It is important to remember that there are two devices in the whole #koftagate story:

A: The diagnostic devices: (Fast series) Including C-Fast that allegedly diagnoses Hepatitis C. This …

El-Youm El-Sabe3 published an update on the Egyptian military devices that detect and treat Hepatitis C and HIV. Based on a military source the newspaper conveys the following points:

• 70,000 applied for treatment by email
• The device treated 1000 patients till now. Including judges, deputy ministers and doctors
• Treatment started in Abbasseya hospital (not clear which one) and Almaza military hospital. 100% of cases of HIV were cured. 97% of Hepatitis C.
• Foreign patients …

MIT virologist Islam Hussein Ph.D. made two super detailed videos debunking koftagate. He shared on twitter that the whole story is causing him too much stress. Please watch and share the videos as much as you can

عالم الفيروسات بمعهد ماساتشوستس للتكنولوجيا الدكتور إسلام حسين نشر فيدوهات مُفصلة ترد على الإدعائات الخاصة بجهاز الكشف وعلاج الفيروسات. الدكتور قال لي على تويتر ان الموضوع يعرضه لضغط شديد جدا لعدم قدرته على الوصول للناس لشرح …

شرح لي أخ عراقي ان في نقاط التفتيش الأمنية كان منتشر استخدام جهاز الكشف عن المفرقعات الشبيه بجاهز سي-فاست، ولأن الوضع الأمني في العراق منهار فمواطنين كثر بيحتفظوا باشياء مثل اسلحة شخصية ومواد حارقة للمولدات او اشياء اخرى غريبة في سياراتهم لكن ليست مفرقعات، فلو اعتبرنا اريل الجهاز يميل ويختار بشكل عشوائي عدد من السيارات فمن الممكن جدا ان يعثر على تلك الأشياء. وتعتبر بشكل خاطئ دليل على …

I learnt from Al-Masry Al-Youm and Youm7 that the army is exhibiting its Hepatitis C detection device (C-Fast) at the EgyMedica fair held at the Cairo Conference Centre.

The picture Al-Masry Al-Youm posted had written below it that the device detects the Malaria "virus" (Malaria is a parasitic infection and not a virus). I went to town with this on Twitter of course …

The Egyptian military, with their recently announced Complete Cure device, is hardly the first to claim unproven cures for diseases that have ravaged millions of lives. Since the discovery of HIV/AIDS, unproven cures have been advertised and often endorsed by governments all over the world and …

أعلن الجيش المصري الأسبوع الماضي عن تطويره لجهاز يستطيع تشخيص فيروس الأيدز و الالتهاب الكبدي الوبائي سي بدون عينة، بدقة تبلغ 100% و على مسافة تبلغ حتى 500 متراً. هذا الجهاز لا يحتاج للكهرباء و يعتمد في تشغيله على كهرباء الجسم الاستاتيكية.

إن هذا الجهاز ليس إلا "قضيب تكهن"! أنه اختراع مزيف مستوحى من اختراع مزيف آخر مسئول عن مقتل 26000 عراقي طبقاً للبعض. إن الـ ADE651 هو جهاز كاشف عن المتفجرات باعه نصاب بريطاني …

More footage of General Ibrahim Abdel Aaty announcing the alleged HIV and Hepatitis C miracle cure appeared online. This one is a must see. There are English subtitles.

It's not clear what he meant by turning AIDS into Kebab. This statement created an incredibly funny social media storm complete with memes and everything. There is a healthy dose of skepticism and worry over the false hope and damage created by this announcement. In my opinion …

The Egyptian military announced yesterday that it has developed a device that can diagnose HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C virus non-invasivly with 100% accuracy and can do so from a distance of up to 500 meters. The device has no electronics and is claimed to be powered by the body's static electricity.

This device is nothing but a divining rod, a sham invention inspired by another sham invention that some hold responsible for the death …
