“At this point, conspiracy theories might as well be called spoiler alerts”

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic (including the measures of social distancing, face masks, lockdowns and vaccinations) was predicted by many “conspiracy theories,” as some people once called them.

“Conspiracy theories ought to be called SPOILER ALERTS at this point… #Fauci #Wuhan” was posted on Twitter by Matt Pilla on June 3, 2021. “At this point, conspiracy theories might as well be called spoiler alerts” was posted on Twitter by Errol Webber on July 16, 2021, and this tweet became popular.

Wikipedia: COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in January 2020 and a pandemic in March 2020.
