Two days ago, I looked at my fiancé and said: "Huh, this will be the first time since 2017 that I won't have a birthday post on Steem/Hive. But I seriously don't have any idea for a fun challenge or anything. What would I make it about? Conspiracy theories about Covid19? Wait a minute ..."
And now here we are.
The challenge is aimed at all of you who are tired of explaining why herd immunity without a vaccine is a bad idea, why people should mask up, why 5G doesn't cause a viral infection.
I want you to pick a conspiracy theory and debunk it.
Rules
- Pick one conspiracy theory about Covid19
- Write a new post in which you describe a) The conspiracy theory b) Why it's wrong
- Include references from peer-reviewed research! Without proper references, there is no point in debunking
- Pictures also need to be credited
- Link back to this, my birthday post and mention the challenge, so others can participate if they want
- Drop a link to your post in the comments of my post so I can find it
- This challenge ends 24th of September 2020, 23:59 Irish Standard Time (I'm testing the peakd.com timer feature, let's see how that works).
- Plagiarism automatically disqualifies you
- People who are known to plagiarise, trolls, spammers, generally the junk of this community are automatically disqualified
- English only
Optional: Tag your entry with the @stemsocial community tag #hive-196387
I will rate the posts by how accurate and well-written they are.
Prizes
You can win:
First Prize: 100 HIVE, 1000 HP Delegation
Second Prize: 60 HIVE, 600 HP Delegation
Third Prize: 40 HIVE, 400 HP Delegation
The Delegation will last at least a month, but probably longer because I keep forgetting to undelegate. Delegation may be withdrawn if the winner abuses it.
If there are no adequate entries, the prizes will not be given out.
