As the coronavirus spread across the globe, so too did speculation about
its origins. Perhaps the virus escaped from a lab. Maybe it was
engineered as a bioweapon.
Legitimate questions about the virus created perfect conditions for
conspiracy theories. In the absence of knowledge, guesswork and
propaganda flourished.
College professors with no evidence or training in virology were touted
as experts. Anonymous social media users posed as high-level
intelligence officials. And from China to Iran to Russia to the United
States, governments amplified claims for their own motives.
