Pseudoscience and conspiracy theories negatively impacted the effort made to contain COVID-19.
Conclusion: This piece of work, however, argues that although pseudoscience and conspiracy theories are real threats to conventional science, effort needs to be made to develop a sort of database to archive and curate them for downstream use.
