Conspiracy theories spread explosively with the spread of the Corona virus emerging (Covid-19), and videos circulated on the application "WhatsApp" for messaging, which links the virus to America or China, or both, and 90% of it links it to America.
The conspiracy mind works in a specific way that differs from the natural mind, as it searches for causes of something because it does not believe in chance, and does not recognize ambiguity, there must be a reason for everything, and if he does not find a reason, the conspiracy mind invents it and then supports it, with what he considers is only evidence of reality then He believes and promotes it, even if the evidence is a movie he has watched. This mind believes the imagination and considers it the truth if the first corresponds to the second.
A video spread to the American professor, Charles Lieber, who cooperated with the University of Wuhan, and lied to the US government about amounts received from the Chinese government, and was arrested by the US authorities on charges of espionage, and there was no connection between him and the virus.
But the conspiracy mentality took this fact and added to it the certainty of spreading the virus, although the same news says that a Chinese researcher hosted by Harvard University tried to smuggle biological equipment outside the United States, and the US authorities arrested him.
How did the conspiracy mind link the news to the spread of "Corona"? It means that the Chinese researcher smuggled the virus and hit his country? Or that America sent it to be published in China and the world? How did he spread the virus after he was arrested in Boston? Where is the logic?
The second hypothesis: The US military spread the virus in Wuhan when China hosted a world sports military championship, in which the United States participated, which was accused by Chinese popular sites of spreading the virus. Assuming this is true, how did New York itself become the epicenter of the epidemic these days? You mean America hit itself? I mean, if I wanted to demolish my opponent’s house because he was more beautiful than my house, then why did I demolish my house after I demolished my competitors ’house? This is crazy!
Finally, US intelligence investigated the origins of the mysterious virus, and suggested that a leak from a laboratory in Wuhan close to the seafood market might have been mistaken, without providing evidence. Even if American intelligence proves that, the evidence will be a shock to the propagandists of the American theory, the source of the virus and they are a majority, but will they preach?
The statement came in the context of US political pressure on China, which was questioned by many experts and denied by the Chinese foreign minister. It is reported that there is a scientific consensus that the origin of the virus is natural and did not take place in a laboratory.
The conspiracy mindset cannot provide any evidence, since the September strikes and the story of the Jews who disappeared from the two towers, to "Covid-19". These are fictitious stories from the fertile imaginative plots of the imagination, and they have no official documentation in the news.
In Arabic: The promotion of the conspiracy in "Social Media" is another epidemic that reflects the sender's sense of hegemony, as a result of his belief that he is aware of classified information, and therefore possesses a force that is not present to others. The conspiracy mind satisfies a psychological desire to control the truth in its imagination and possession, which means an advantage over the other, because the truth that we know does not meet that, so the conspiracy mind resorted to inventing stories from his imagination even if he doubts them, and this is the reason why they are unable to prove their allegations.
