Summary
Conspiracy theories are spreading about the recent hantavirus outbreak, with claims ranging from population control plots to covid shots causing infections. Grifters are promoting ivermectin as a cure, even selling horse dewormer versions in emergency kits. Doctors and experts are debunking these claims, but the misinformation continues to spread on social media platforms, reaching hundreds of thousands of views. The concern is that this is not a random occurrence, but a ready-made machine that latches onto any outbreak, with bad information often reaching people before real facts do.
