Conspiracies theories against Covid-19.

The three conspiracy beliefs that almost 1000 UK adults were asked about were as 
follows:

 

1. The virus that causes COVID-19 was probably created in a laboratory 
2. The symptoms of COVID-19 seem to be connected to 5G mobile network radiation 
3. The COVID-19 pandemic was planned by certain pharmaceutical corporations and government agencies 

it's very easy to feel pannicked and overwhelmed in the current climate.If some conspiracy silliness helps ease your mind right now, then great. If not then read some positive news. Lets have a look;

 UK Coronavirus vaccine trials get underway. Today ( 23rd April 2020), the first human trials of covid -19 vaccine get underway from the University of Oxford. Scientists working on the vaccine say the injection they are developing has an 80% chance of success reports.SKY NEWS.

On the other hand despite the majority of us keeping our fingers crossed for a Covid-19 vaccine to be developed as soon as possible, others on the internet are septical about the benefits of a such cure.

1: The Covid-19 vaccine will contain A Microchip.

In fact, Youtuber David Icke claimed that a Coronavirus vaccine, when there is one, will contain 'NANOTECHNOLOGY MICROCHIP' that would in theory allows humans to be controlled.

2: Covid-19 Was Deliberately Made in a Lab.

According to a new report from the Pew Research Centre in the US, a third of Americans surveyed believe that Covid-19 was created in a Lab. Thankfully, 43% of those surveyed do believe that Covid-19 occured naturally.

3:How the 5G coronavirus conspiracy theory went from fringe to mainstream.

The first link John Gregory saw pushing a connection between 5G and the coronavirus pandemic was on a French conspiracy website called Les moutons enrages, which loosely translates as "The rabid sheep". The disease caused by the novel coronavirus, could be related, pointing to report about Wuhan installing 5G towers before the outbreak.Three months later, conspiracy theorists making similar claims were setting cellphone towers on fire in Europe.

But Mr Xiao has since told the Wall Street Journal that he subsequently withdrew the study. "The speculation about the possible origins in the post was based on published papers and media and was not supported by direct proofs," the Wall Street Journal quoted him as saying.

The Washington Post reported in mid-April that two science diplomats from the US embassy paid several visits to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2018 and warned Washington about "inadequate safety at the lab, which was conducting risky studies on coronaviruses from bats".

Jeremy Konyndyk, who led the US government's response to the Ebola outbreak, tweeted in response to reports about an accidental lab leak: "The science doesn't preclude a lab origin but does indicate it's quite unlikely."
