And what is even more shocking is that they pretend that hospitals are inundated with patients and can’t cope and will do everything to prove this. The doctors we once trusted and might still go to for really serious illnesses, are all lying to us because they were told to do so. Hospitals full of patients in many countries? Shortage of oxygen in India? Why, just stress actors and panic buying.
This distortion of facts and the Trumpian alternative facts of the conspiracy theorists is what makes the current covid denialists the worst conspiracy theorists ever. They are now willing to unite with such political figures and give themselves the right to terrorise healthcare workers and to mislead others. Many are now denying that HIV is real and also become affiliated with notorious antivaxxers.
