    One of the saddest parts of the global pandemic is watching people you respect spout baseless, and debunked, conspiracy theories”I don’t know if it is true, I just thought it was interesting”, is often the response when someone points out the theory’s flaws on social media, as if checking the veracity of something before posting is a task one step too far.

    Theories abound, with some of the more popular ones to be found in Plandemic, a widely-shared video that masquerades as a documentary.

    Here’s a guide of sorts with regards how to respond to somebody sharing Plandemic, but let’s move on.

    One of the internet’s deeper, darker rabbit holes concerns QAnon, and VICE decided to dive in:

    QAnon is a fringe community of Trump supporters who started in 2017. The group ‘Followers of Q’ are using the internet to spread their possibly unfounded theories on COVID- 19.

    We speak to Qanon believers, virologists and conspiracy theory experts to see if there’s truth to these COVID conspiracy theories… follow us down the rabbit hole.

    Where information about the virus is lacking, conspiracy theorists are always happy to fill in the gaps.
