It’s a place where people willingly take (and die from) horse deworming medication to prevent themselves from catching COVID-19, but they don’t trust the vaccines available. Conspiracy theories are rampant and widely believed in the US. The Birds Aren’t Real conspiracy was created to debunk misinformation, but…maybe, just maybe, it could be true.
