Whether Corona, 9/11 or the death of Lady Diana: As soon as something moves us, conspiracy myths sprout up.
There are also some conspiracy myths surrounding Corona and vaccination. But why are these myths currently reaching so many people? And why is it so difficult to argue with facts and sober statements?
In an interview, Andre Wolf from the Mimikama association explains what conspiracies currently look like and what they achieve. Because false reports and myths have long since left the Internet and control people's actions in reality.
What is fact and what are conspiracy myths?
Especially in times of crisis, we observed that false reports and myths appeared more frequently. Especially when a situation affects many people.
An example from recent years: When many refugees came to Europe in 2015/16, we observed a lot of false reports. Whenever terrorist attacks occur, conspiracy myths emerge.
Myths are particularly influential the greater the general level of concern. And now for a year we have had a situation that affects us all. Accordingly, many myths arise.
