QAnon, coronavirus and the conspiracy cult – BBC News
A bizarre conspiracy theory has surged in popularity in the US since the pandemic, according to exclusive research seen by the BBC.
QAnon and its believers say that Donald Trump is here to save the world from an evil cabal of paedophiles and it’s had a surprising level of interest around the world from Brazil to Germany, the UK and Indonesia.
And this week Twitter announced it would delete 7,000 QAnon-related accounts, saying it hoped the action would help to prevent “offline harm”.
BBC Population Correspondent Stephanie Hegarty has spoken to QAnon followers and their families to find out why this cultish conspiracy has gained so much traction.

In a compelling new interview, veteran investigative reporter John North recounts his unforgettable experience of witnessing the failed execution attempt of death row inmate Christa Pike.
Pike was sentenced to death in Tennessee after the brutal 1995 murder of student Colleen Slemmer. For years, her case has remained one of the state’s most notorious criminal stories.
As an official media witness, John North was granted access to events unfolding inside the prison during the state’s attempt to carry out Pike’s execution – which did not go to plan.
The Tennessee Department of Correction has not explained why the execution did not go as planned, though it has defended the method it used. It declined comment on Pike’s statement when contacted by the BBC.
This programme includes details of the process of an execution you may find upsetting.
