"Since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve seen how conspiracy theories can
overlap and collide. I’ve documented how anti-vaccine groups embraced QAnon
disinformation about liberal elites conspiring to unseat Trump, and how white
nationalists find willing audiences for their racist ideology in anti-mask
groups. Over the last week, a new disinformation hybrid has appeared, as online
anti-vaccine groups have become a hotbed of pro-Russia conspiracy theories
about the conflict in Ukraine—and some of the most prominent anti-vaccine
activists are actively promoting geopolitical falsehoods."
