Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories No One Should Believe

Conspiracy theory: The coronavirus is a hoax

This theory came to life firstly because of denial, mainly because people wanted to believe that all of this is just a lie, that people haven’t gotten sick or dying of a brand new virus with unknown origins that no one knows the cure for.

It’s hard enough to believe that a virus that has taken over the news might not exist, however, some people have gone a step further to make it seem more believable by finding a reason or motive.

Some people who are against vaccination believe the pandemic is a hoax made by those who want to strong-arm the world into vaccinating. “If you’re still thinking it’s coincidental that a pandemic erupted in the midst of a state by state sweep to REMOVE your right to refuse vaccination, it’s time to get your head out of the sand,” posits one group of anti-vaxxers from Oregon, which claims the coronavirus panic is nothing more than “irrational panic.”

Tell that to the people who have it. Now we wanna know your opinion about this. Do you agree with coronavirus being just a hoax? Tell us in the comment section.

Conspiracy theory: All these precautions are overkill

Here is another conspiracy theory that also arises in the people’s urge to deny the existence of a global pandemic. It advocates against washing hands excessively. “People are engaging in extreme handwashing, disinfecting their houses with Clorox, refusing handshakes and wearing masks,” notes one such group, as reported by Mother Jones.

“This is nonsense. Like any virus, coronavirus is no match for someone with a strong immune system.” This claim is false, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and its the kind of misinformation that can make the pandemic worse and cause grave harm to others.
