Debunker Uncovers Real Covid Conspiracies

Conspiracy Theory Debunker Finds Real Conspiracies ⋆ Brownstone Institute 🔗

The 2023 book Misbelief by Dan Ariely belongs to a genre I would label “debunking Covid conspiracy theories.” The book is meant to explore the thought process of people who subscribe to conspiracy theories, especially about Covid and the Covid vaccines.

The text discusses how a debunker of conspiracy theories, Dan Ariely, discovered real conspiracies related to Covid. He describes instances where the US FDA manipulated data in the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and a newspaper editor-in-chief refused to report vaccine side effects. Ariely's findings challenge his own debunking project and raise questions about the responsibility of institutions to report true information. The text highlights the need for transparency and accountability in public health data reporting.
