Are Vegans More Susceptible To COVID Conspiracies? Ep 228 The Bearded Vegans

    • Society & Culture

This week we kick things off by discussing our feelings on the recent spate of Re-Open protests. What do they reveal about those who engage in them, are they productive, and is their rage justified? Then we ask the question, are vegans more susceptible to COVID conspiracy theories? As we've seen a rise in vegans, from ethical activists to plant based doctors, embracing a slew of alternate explanations for current world events, we began to wonder if this was happening at a higher rate with vegans. Is there something about our general worldview that primes us to be more open to these theories than the general public? A transcript of the episode is available at https://bit.ly/TBVEp228Transcript.
