Debunking Covid & Conspirituality Misinformation

Researchers use AI – and witchcraft folklore – to map the coronavirus conspiracy theories that have sprung up

Prior research has focused on the negative reasons people are drawn to conspiracies, but there’s another side to the story

JP Sears is certainly not the only one moving Left or Right—politics infects everything these days. Where he landed is exactly the place he’s criticized for years: exploiting the wellness grift.

2020 has been a year that has exposed people's true intentions and character, especially within the New Age community.

In 2020, menacing propaganda began streaming into the yoga and wellness worlds. Charismatic influencers read the room, and poured their talents for emotional exploitation into increasingly morbid…

Conservatives may be in power, but their interest in fringe ideas shows that some still feel like they're floundering.

A political binary touted by progressives has alienated huge numbers of people over the course of the pandemic.

A study by the University of Edinburgh suggests Covid-19 did not originate in China’s Wuhan but evolved naturally in the bat population in northern Laos and China’s Yunnan province. The study, now published in the peer-reviewed journal Cell, challenges the ’lab-leak’ theory championed by US President Donald Trump. Here’s what it says

With genetic samples from the infamous Wuhan market, a new study makes the case that raccoon dogs are likely the animal that infected humans. Proponents of the lab leak theory are dubious.

A pair of recently published studies found that the virus was likely transmitted to people from an animal.

It’s the Canadian way to put our heads in the sand, pretend it’s not happening, roll out the toxic positivity of denial, and be shocked when the chickens come home to roost.

Antivaxxers are touting a "revelation" that wasn't that the phase 3 clinical trial of the Pfizer COVID vaccine didn't examine its ability to block transmission.

The COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials were designed to study the vaccine’s safety and efficacy in preventing symptomatic disease, not transmission. But online publications now misleadingly present the fact that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was not tested for transmission as a “shocking admission” and proof that the company and the government lied.

Evidence is increasing that, not only do COVID-19 vaccines either stop you getting sick or substantially reduce the severity of your symptoms, they’re also likely to substantially reduce the chance of transmitting the virus to others.

"Vaccination will take us far enough along, not that we're out of the woods, but that we're really out of the fire," University of Toronto epidemiologist Colin Furness said.

Lessons from other viruses show that even if vaccines don’t completely stop disease spread, they can still successfully contain it

Even as highly contagious coronavirus variants are circulating, experts say leading vaccines are not only preventing infections but likely curbing transmission as well. But that doesn't mean the vaccinated can fully protect the unvaccinated, particularly in areas with lower vaccination rates.
