What conspiracy theories do to people

[Jaga]

There are so many conspiracy theories floating among people. They can lead to suicides, political unrests, deaths. I am following for some time this sad story out from Idaho, when many innocent people, among them kids died.

Jaga,

We have our conspiracy theorist groups, sects and other people who believe in conspiracies. Some are reasonable people who 'doubt' the truth of the authorities and the press and media, others are radical, extreme, rather crazy or bizar and mental instable. The 'Virus Truth movement' has some influence and power in the Netherlands next to other kindred spirit organisations like 'Blue Tiger', 'Weltschertz', 'Robert Jensen', 'Lange Frans', 'De Andere Krant', and the newspaper Gezond Verstand (Common Sense).

In 2020 the Dutch journalist, writer and professor, Karel van Wolferen (born 1941) founded newspaper Gezond Verstand (Common Sense), which among others claimed the COVID epidemic was fabricated. The University of Amsterdam officially distanced itself from their former employee after its publication, citing Van Wolferen was "ruining the trust in scientific research and the spread of factual information, for example when it comes to Corona." Van Wolferen claimed journalists accusing him of spreading conspiracies are "executing orders from the CIA".

The Virus Waarheid Foundation (The Virus Truth Foundation)



The Virus Waarheid Foundation (initially active under the name Virus Madness) is a Dutch action group that criticizes the corona policy of the Dutch government. The foundation was founded by dance teacher Willem Engel, a former scientist who broke off his PhD research in biopharmacy at Leiden University in 2008 and devoted himself to the musical movement Zouk. He and lawyer Jeroen Pols act as spokespersons. According to Virus Truth, COVID-19 is as deadly as a moderate to severe flu season. However, experts argue that the death rate from flu is lower annually than with COVID-19, and people have already (partly) built up immunity against flu. This is not the case with COVID-19.
