With first-hand reporting and detailed   investigations into the people who originated these COVID theories - some of   them plausible, some driven by an agenda, and some plainly mad - he answers   the questions that everyone has been asking for nearly two years since the   pandemic began, and left us doubting our leaders as never before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e            When   COVID-19 struck early in 2020, first in China and inexorably through the rest   of the world, it quickly became the subject of the most virulent outbreak of   conspiracy theories we have ever seen. The pandemic quickly became an   infodemic.\u003cbr\u003e            The   President of the United States championed bleach as a cure, the Chinese   government blamed the Americans, and the American government blamed the   Chinese - a Cold War over a cold virus. David Icke said that COVID does not exist. People blamed 5G phone networks,   genetically modified crops, Bill Gates, Corona beer, aliens, bats and  pangolins .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e            Yet   these theorists are not all the obsessive cultists and paranoid mavericks   with whom the conspiracy-theory label is often associated. They are your   parents, your next-door neighbour, your boss at work. The question marks over   the origins of COVID-19, the dangers of the virus.\u003cbr\u003e            The   world has been changed for ever by the events of the past two years. It is   crucial that history offers an accurate account of what happened. This book   will play a key role in revealing what - and what not - to believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40314355384417,"sku":"9781789466225","price":7.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36300976.jpg?v=1759448703","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781789466225-covid-19-the-conspiracy-theories","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
