COVID Conspiracy Theorists Repeatedly Entering Utah Hospital Over False Claims, Officials Warn
Conspiracy theorists are trying to gain access to a hospital in Utah over unfounded rumors that their intensive care units are not at near-capacity as a result of COVID-19.
Utah Valley Hospital administrator Kyle Hansen said people have been sharing videos online of empty waiting rooms as proof that hospitals are not overwhelmed with COVID patients.
"I've never seen such distrust of the scientific community and the healthcare experts who are trying to be visible and trying to be a voice for what is happening and what's going on," Hansen said.
"The politics have gotten involved in this, unfortunately, where really they should not have and that's made the misinformation part that much more difficult."
"Although these situations are few and isolated, stopping attempts to gain inappropriate access and responding to fake conspiracy theories diverts attention from providing lifesaving care provided at the hospitals.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
