At least some people recover and admit that they were wrong
Quote:Jesmond man who thought Covid was fake and the world was flat admits: 'I was wrong'
A man who pushed conspiracy theories on the streets of Newcastle has apologised to the city, and admitted: 'I was wrong'.
Jesmond's Lloyd Mitchell once believed that the world was flat and that 5G could cause Covid.
During the pandemic, he distributed flyers in Newcastle City Centre claiming the killer virus was fake. He also pushed claims about Bill Gates which he now realises were nonsense - after researching the "fantastic" work done by the Bill and Melissa Gates Foundation with vaccines.
However he's now fighting misinformation after "re-educating" himself - and realising how dangerous his actions were.
"What I said could have cost lives," he admits.

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"
