DISINFO: COVID-19 pandemic is a global conspiracy in the interests of the global elite
SUMMARY
The “pandemic” that we’re talking about since the spring of 2020 is not something spontaneous. This is a pre-planned operation with the goal of worldwide restructuring in the interests of the “global elite” (“world behind the scenes”, “deep state”).
RESPONSE
A recurring conspiracy theory that echoes pro-Kremlin disinformation about the artificial creation of COVID-19.
There is no evidence that the coronavirus (COVID-19) was created in laboratories and that the pandemic is a part of a global hoax. COVID-19 comes from a family of viruses that includes the common cold and viruses such as SARS and MERS. Coronaviruses are known to circulate in mammals and birds, and scientists have already suggested that COVID-19 originally came from bats. One of the previous coronaviruses that caused severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, spread from bats to civet cats to humans.
A group of 27 prominent public health scientists have condemned rumours and conspiracy theories about the origin of the coronavirus outbreak:
"We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin."
The authors of The Lancet statement note that scientists from several countries who have studied SARS-CoV-2:
“overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife," just like many other viruses that have recently emerged in humans. "Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumours and prejudice that jeopardise our global collaboration in the fight against this virus," the statement says.
