When witches are believed, then you had better fall in line and believe in witches.
Not saying there are people that dress up as witches once/year or claim it as faith... but blaming crop failures, pandemics, etc on the practice reached a hysterical crescendo at a point in Western Civ.
Fast forward, Covid kills some people, but it definitely isn't spanish flu or ebola. But the number of people that believe it is ebola has reached epidemic proportion. That's dangerous. When society panics, bad things happen.
