COVID Isn't Spread Through Chemtrails

The chemtrail conspiracy theory began in 1996 when the US air force published a report on weather control. They were subsequently accused of using planes to control the weather. Some people argue that this can be seen in the cloudy trails left by planes. These trails were given the portmanteau “chemtrails,” as they were alleged to be visible signs of chemicals.

The coronavirus pandemic has spurred quite a few conspiracy theories, so it was only a matter of time for chemtrails to be linked to COVID-19.

Misbar’s investigation found that what conspiracy theorists call chemtrails are actually “contrails.” When a plane flies through thin air, water vapor gathers with the plane’s exhaust. This substance freezes, forming cirrus clouds. While this has raised concerns in regard to climate change, contrails don’t contain chemicals (or viruses).

A group of 77 scientists from different universities conducted tests to see if these contrails were actually chemtrails. 76 of them said that these were merely plane soot combining with water vapor. The sole dissenter found some unusually high levels of Barium in one area, so they said they couldn’t rule it out.

There’s no proof that chemtrails exist, so there’s no proof that COVID-19 chemtrails do either.
