"Ebola and hantavirus outbreaks prompt raft of conspiracy theories in divided US

Ever-growing influence of social media and AI means such ideas spreading at faster rates than before, experts say

Hantavirus and Ebola outbreaks carry with them familiar attendants in the US: extreme conspiracy theories about a planned pandemic, or 'plandemic', designed to upend midterm elections or push new vaccines or any one of a myriad of wild ideas.

Ebola, which the World Health Organization warned on Friday is spreading rapidly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, poses a 'very high' risk at the national level. In the upside-down world of conspiracy theories it could be a bioweapon, a financial plot, or a scheme to extract national resources.

The hantavirus outbreak, which began on a cruise ship in the South Atlantic, killing three passengers and causing at least 11 to test positive, carries its own set of baggage in the form of conspiracy theories: passengers were crisis actors, or it was caused by Covid vaccines and Bill Gates, or perhaps it was an Israeli false flag operation and can be cured by the antiviral horse de-wormer ivermectin.

This is not new, though undoubtedly the ever-growing influence of social media and now AI slop, means that such ideas spread further and faster than ever before.

'This is very normal, and we should not be shocked that people are conspiracy theorizing,' said Dr Joseph Uscinski, an associate professor of political science at the University of Miami.

'If people are paying attention to something, so are people who are conspiracy-minded, and they are going to interpret disease through that lens,' he adds. 'Of course, there is going to be a conspiracy behind it and they’re going to blame people they already dislike.'

Uscinski points out that theories around the hantavirus and Ebola are not much different from during Covid, Aids or other virus outbreaks. During the previous Ebola outbreak in 2014, online posts – some picked up by Infowars’ Alex Jones – held that Ebola victims were returning as zombies. But that was during the fourth season of The Walking Dead."

Der mit dem #Hantavirus infizierte Spanier war kein(!) 😬😬😬 Passagier sondern ein enger Kontakt eines Passagiers.

Hoffen wir es bleibt bei einem Fall und keiner #communitytransmission 👀

With these pandemics/viruses I, more often than not, think Mother Nature is trying to teach humans that if we don't learn to take care of the most vulnerable among us, we're all screwed.

She will carry on without us.

It seems cockroaches have more sense than humans.
