Nine confirmed hantavirus cases linked to the Dutch-flagged cruise ship MV Hondius have triggered a resurgence of Covid-era conspiracy theories on social media, with users falsely blaming Bill Gates for creating a "bioweapon."
The outbreak revived "plandemic" narratives that circulated during the coronavirus pandemic. Social media platforms saw rapid spread of unfounded claims connecting Gates to the virus outbreak.
Health authorities have not attributed the hantavirus to any deliberate creation. The conspiracy theories demonstrate persistent misinformation patterns despite previous debunking efforts.
