Edinburgh Castle at sunrise on Easter Sunday. Photograph: PA A PUBLIC health expert has said it is “deeply concerning” that leaflets containing Covid-19 conspiracy theories have been delivered door-to-door in Scotland’s capital city. The Ferret reported that the flyer, featuring no named contact or organisation, calls on people to study three websites which promote misinformation about the virus. These websites push unproven coronavirus treatments, as well as “fringe views” on the effectiveness of vaccines and public health measures. Two asked readers for money. The Edinburgh local who received the flyer through the door told news site: “I thought it looked so professionally produced it must be a professional campaign with some serious money behind it. I expected to be able to see clearly which organisation it was from but I couldn’t.”
