We all know them or have seen them on the Internet. The Armchair Doctors or Internet Microbiologists. Their conspiracy theories are wrapped up in so many tangents you wonder how they haven't accidentally hog tied themselves. So what are the best, horrific, hilarious, and/or interesting theories you have seen out there regarding the Ebola crisis.
Example: One of my lovely friends believes Ebola is a man made virus that is being used as a means of population control and "black genocide" and to test vaccines on African children. Oh and Robert Gallo "made AIDS".
Another example: Ebola was created by Africans and their inappropriate relationships with animals and the witch doctors.
Lovely. It's frustrating to see how all these people are exposed to the truth and here I am with my evidence-based practice looking dumb. I'm tired of being angry and all I can do now is laugh and soak it all in. Give me your best theories. Bonus points if you can connect several medical ailments like my friend going from Ebola to HIV conspiracies.
