'''As of 2022, the COVID-19 has seen multiple conspiracy theories concerning purposeful misinformation and disinformation committed by the government organizations across the world such as the United States and the United Kingdom, although not exclusively. It has been reported in a study by researchers at the University of Oxford that 60% of adults believe that the government is misleading the public about the cause of the virus and 40% believe the spread of the virus is a deliberate attempt by powerful people to gain control.
