‘Plandemic, Covid 2.0’: Fact-checking viral conspiracy theories about Hantavirus




As the world saw with Covid-19, the only thing that spreads faster than a virus is misinformation, and hantavirus is no exception. Despite only a few confirmed cases, conspiracy theories have swirled on social media falsely claiming Hantavirus is a planned pandemic, or a ploy to disrupt the US midterm elections. Others alleged it’s a “bioweapon” created by big pharma  to “poison” people or even that it’s a side effect of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
