Which conspiracy theories were actually true?
Do you really know? 
About this episode
The origins of Covid-19 still remain somewhat hazy, over three-and-a-half years since the virus began spreading across the world. That has led to a number of prominent conspiracy theories, with 25% of people in the UK believing that Covid was definitely or probably a hoax. That finding was part of an April 2023 survey by Savanta for King’s College London and the BBC. It also established that belief in other conspiracy theories is relatively high too, like the idea that the cost of living crisis is a government plot to control the public. Of course, the vast majority of them are false, but there are certain exceptions to the rule. What about the Watergate Scandal ? What about the Tuskegee Syphilis Study ?
