OBJECTIVE: This piece of work proposes a way for the wise management of
pseudoscience and conspiracy theories. METHODS: This work encompassed a review of
relevant literature and synthesized the critical thoughts on the proper
management of pseudoscience and conspiracy theories. RESULT: The coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) overwhelmingly challenges the competency of the digital
generation. Consequently, public had been left stranded, helpless and anxious,
especially during the peak season of the pandemic. However, this crisis creates a
conducive environment for pseudoscience and conspiracy theories to proliferate.
Pseudoscience and conspiracy theories negatively impacted the effort made to
contain COVID-19. CONCLUSION: This piece of work, however, argues that although
pseudoscience and conspiracy theories are real threats to conventional science,
effort needs to be made to develop a sort of database to archive and curate them
for downstream use.
