Beliefs in conspiracy theories about the spread of Covid-19 have grown significantly in Bulgaria since July. They are most popular among the elderly population. At the same time, the percentage of those who say they will not be vaccinated has decreased from 37 to 35 since September. This is seen in the results of the third poll of the WHO Office in Bulgaria, which trace the population's view of the pandemic.
