El artículo examina cómo la desconfianza hacia la pandemia de COVID-19 ha servido como catalizador para la difusión de teorías conspirativas. Se discute la naturaleza de las teorías conspirativas, su relación con la desconfianza institucional y su representación en redes sociales. La metodología del estudio incluye el análisis de hashtags de más de dos millones de tuits para entender, a través del análisis de redes, cómo se relacionan distintas teorías conspirativas y cómo ciertas teorías actúan como "puertas de entrada" a otras. Los resultados sugieren que hay conexiones lógicas entre diferentes teorías conspirativas, influidas por la desconfianza hacia instituciones específicas y amplificadas por la crisis de la COVID-19. Se concluye que la combinación de teorías conspirativas no es aleatoria, sino que sigue una lógica interna basada en la desconfianza.
