The federal laboratory that designed the atomic bomb has set its sights on Americans, funding a study intended to help authorities learn how to “combat” “misinformation” — including the “conspiracy theory” that COVID came from a lab.
Los Alamos National Laboratories, which is ostensibly focused on atomic energy, funded and dedicated eight staff to the study “‘Thought I’d Share First’ and Other Conspiracy Theory Tweets from the COVID-19 Infodemic.”

“This study examines four oft-repeated and long-lived conspiracy theories surrounding COVID-19: 5G technology is somehow associated with the disease; Bill Gates or the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation created or patented the virus; the virus is human-made and was released from a laboratory; and a COVID-19 vaccine will be harmful,” the study said. Elsewhere, it clarifies that the conspiracy theory includes the idea that the disease escaped from a lab whether “intentionally or accidentally.”
“The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic clearly illustrates the need to identify health-related misinformation, especially with a lens toward improving communication strategies to combat it,” it said.
The study was published in an academic journal in April 2021 and Los Alamos’s website lauded it in September 2022 with a glowing article written for its in-house magazine. Los Alamos’ article, which was written well after it was widely accepted that COVID may have leaked from a Chinese lab, simply omitted the fact that a large portion of the study was demonizing Americans who very well may have been right, and listed only the other three theories when describing what the study looked at.
