A team of researchers recently showed several thousand Americans a list of 20 common conspiracy theories and asked if they believed them. These included false conspiracy theories about the John F. Kennedy assassination, 5G cellular wireless technology, Barack Obamas birth certificate, covid-19 and climate change. The result: Nine in 10 Americans believed in at least one conspiracy theory.
The study led by Adam Enders of the University of Louisville and Joseph Uscinski of the University of Miami surveyed a representative sample of 2,023 Americans in March 2020 and 2,015 more in October 2020. This article uses questions from their surveys to test your knowledge and your credulity.
So, can you tell fact from fiction, or will you fall down the rabbit hole? Scroll down to find out.
