Ebola misinformation
Appearance
Multiple conspiracy theories have circulated about ebola viruses, regarding the origin of outbreaks, treatments for ebola virus disease, and preventative measures.
Origins theories
During the 2014 outbreak in Liberia, an article in The Daily Observer alleged that the virus was a bioweapon designed by the US military as a form of population control.[1] Other theories spreading online during the pandemic alleged that the New World Order had engineered the virus in order to impose quarantines and travel bans in order to soften an eventual descent into martial law.[1]
