Guide to avoid being misled by COVID-19 conspiracy theories issued

Four psychology scholars have developed a four-page consumer guide to spotting COVID-19 conspiracies. [Lewandowsky S, and others. How to spot COVID-19 conspiracy theories. May 2020] It describes these seven traits of conspiratorial thinking, each with a COVID-19-related example:


  • Contradictory logic

  • Overriding suspicion

  • Nefarious intent

  • Something must be wrong

  • Persecuted victim

  • Immune to evidence

  • Re-interpreting randomness
