Do you believe The Walking Dead is a work of fiction? It is, but the government wants to be ready for a real-life version in any case.

A catastrophic occurrence, according to John Cook, an expert on misinformation at George Mason University's Center for Climate Change Communication, creates a "particularly fertile breeding environment for conspiracy theories." He argues that when individuals feel threatened or are unable to completely comprehend a critical event, conspiracy theories might assist them in making sense of it.

"Randomness is incredibly uncomfortable to people," Cook explained.
