Talk:COVID-19 denialism

Not a bad start. --Possible Goat (talk) 01:37, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Aaaand one of my family members is a COVID Denialist. Cool.
I read this article and his reason to believe COVID doesn´t exist immediately pooped up in my head: basically it exists just because the media is simply creating the reality (clever, I´ll give him that) of the virus for money (even though they don't even need to do that), creating fear and anxiety when really: it´s all in our heads, obviously! Like, three other of my family members got infected and even had to spend time at the hospital and he says that it was not COVID despite the fact that everybody else remembers it so! And of course he refuses to take the two vaccine shots too.

So maybe this would be a nice thing to debunk here, probably it's one of the more common forms of denialism about this virus.

 * Do you happen to have a source for the specific claim? In general, yes that does sort of include the whole thing, but diving into a specific claim (like if the source says it was created by CNN), would allow us to tailor a better refutation.-RipCityLiberal (talk) 20:23, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I couldn't find actual specific conspiracist claims but I found these, if they are any good:

- https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/17/social-media-usage-linked-to-belief-in-coronavirus-conspiracy-theories.html (it briefly mentions about people believing it's a hoax) - https://www.thehealthy.com/infectious-disease/coronavirus-hoax-false-claim/ (some debunking) - https://www.amazon.es/Covid-19-Greatest-History-startling-takeover/dp/B08KH3R8NG - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/28/world/europe/europe-coronavirus-protests.html - https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-data-pandemic/fact-check-uk-government-data-does-not-show-pandemic-is-a-hoax-idUSL1N2MS1ZR - https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-covid-hoax-eliminate-trump-idUSKBN27S31E - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elf6h_K4JH0 (this last one even has a left-wing denialist example).

Also, out of the topic but you might want to check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plandemic. Basically this film is like Zietgeist but for COVID. It has already been debunked to death apparently.
