They Want to Implant Chips to Our Bodies": Covid 19 Conspiracy Theories and Their impact on Czech Society

Original language description

Together with the dissatisfaction of citizens in connection with the Covid 19 pandemic aiming primarily against the restrictions and measures imposed by the government measures imposed by the government, a whole series of fake news, disinformation, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories began to spread through (not only) Czech society, which further undermined social attitudes, moods, but also shared values of the society. The rise of various conspiracy theories (especially in the social media environment) was then noted in the context of restrictions associated with vaccination against Covid 19. The chapter therefore aims, from the perspective of communication studies, to map these various misinformation and hoaxes that have spread in the communication space in recent years in Czech society (especially on the social media platform Facebook), and which resonate in selected groups to this day, which has an impact on political views and behaviour of citizens. The goal will be to point out not only the stereotypical tendencies and argumentative strategies used in the given communication, but also the refutation, or clarification / explanation of the information on which the newly created misinformation is based.
