Conspiracy theorists try to invade Utah hospital where nurse died from Covid

Conspiracy theorists have attempted to enter a hospital in Provo, Utah, to "expose" what they falsely believe is a coronavirus cover-up.

Amid surging infections and Covid-19 hospital admissions in Utah, a handful of virus "truthers" tried to gain access to the Utah Valley Hospital's Intensive Care Unit (ICU) last week.

“It’s conspiracy theorists that believe what they’re being told is not accurate,” said hospital administrator, Kyle Hansen, when updating Provo City Council on the facility's pandemic response.

“They’re determined to videotape and capture the proof of that by accessing our facilities. We’ve had some people get really creative in how they’ve lied about coming in for an appointment or other things.”
