Pew took a look at the kinds of people most likely to believe that the pandemic was planned.

Iain Davis I am what the general population, politicians and the mainstream media (MSM) would call a conspiracy theorist. While I don’t agree with their definition of the term, there’s not much point in me denying it. It is applied to me, and millions like me, whether we like it or not. For those who …
