Anti-vax Twitter accounts pushing food crisis misinformation, study finds

Research says conspiracy theorists shifting from QAnon and Covid to disinformation about crisis caused by Russia's war in Ukraine

Twitter accounts that have promoted QAnon and anti-vaccine conspiracy theories are switching focus and increasingly spreading disinformation about the global food crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to a new study.
