Media.am presents the misinformation and conspiracy theories about the epidemic spread from the end of July to August 21.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to masks and vaccinations, the issue of returning to school with a mask and maintaining social distance became a topic of discussion. The dismissal of Mher Davidyants, who headed the “Nork” Infectious Diseases Medical Center, caused a stir.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conspiracy theorists and the new school year<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lusine Haroyan-Dallakyan, the candidate for the post of Prime Minister in the 2018 special parliamentary elections, <\/span>offered material<\/span><\/a> to parents and teachers to “read carefully” and “seriously think about” from the Facebook page of the user <\/span>Na Ha<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The author found a conspiracy theory in the reopening of school. Its main purpose is vaccination. “BOYCOTT SCHOOLS\u00a0 in the form they will take on starting September 15. IT IS A TRAP,” the publication reads.<\/span><\/p>\n

In another post, Haroyan-Dallakyan <\/span>spoke against<\/span><\/a> going to school in masks, putting forward conspiracy theories again, according to which Nikol Pashinyan and his team are “a pawn of globalist evil.” They “engaged in child molestation, the sale and purchase of women and children, exploitation, the sale of organs, and the grafting of rejuvenating stems.” And the great goal of all that is to destroy “our Highland”.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are still those who oppose the new normal school<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hrayr Kostanyan from the “Hayk” initiative <\/span>spoke against<\/span><\/a> going to school and kindergarten under the new normal conditions. His reasoning is, “Can a child growing up in such conditions become Abajyan or Nzhdeh? Of course not! An Armenian child cannot be brought up in a dog kennel and grow up to be an Armenian, even if that kennel has transparent walls\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Statistics of unknown origin: Americans do not want to be vaccinated<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Channel 5 <\/span>made reference to<\/span><\/a> a sociological survey on COVID-19 vaccines in the United States, without mentioning its source. According to the data provided, every third American is against the vaccine, even if it is offered for free.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the data provided by Channel 5, it is not clear…<\/span><\/p>\n
