5: The very real cost of COVID conspiracy theories
Manage episode 297276371 series 2939355
There’s no question that the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed an enormous cost on, well, everyone. Lost lives, lost jobs, delayed schooling, stress and anxiety.
Some people think there’s another cost too — the cost of COVID conspiracy theories. It’s almost like a second virus, infecting peoples’ minds instead of their bodies. And the cost to humanity is going up as conspiracy theories like anti-vaccination campaigns just prolong the pandemic.
Today, Phil Tank of the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix takes a closer look at what COVID conspiracy theories are costing us.
