Covid Deniers: How shadowy social media groups are spreading myths and conspiracy about coronavirus   
Conspiracies and fake news about Covid-19 are spreading across millions of users’ timelines

Two weeks ago an anti-vaccine Facebook group called ‘We Brought Vaxxed to the UK’ started to disseminate a new and dangerous contagion: misinformation about Covid-19.

It’s posts promote xenophobia, conspiracy theories and erroneous medical information about the disease and how it might be treated.

One post claimed China was using the outbreak to cull the elderly, another suggested hand sanitiser causes cancer and a “probiotic yogurt suppository” was recommended as a cure.
