Or
I survived the Las Vegas shooting, then was convinced it was staged
In 2017, Stuart McCormick survived the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in US history, while visiting Las Vegas. In the months that followed, his understanding of what happened that October night became twisted and distorted.
The BBC's disinformation correspondent, Marianna Spring, has been speaking to Stuart for her new podcast series, Why Do You Hate Me. She explains that it is rare for survivors of attacks like this to become embroiled in conspiracy theories about them. But if it can happen to someone like Stuart, are any of us safe from being conned?
