Are there any credible conspiracy theories?

Because he’d know.

COVID is the best thing that happened the anti vaccine movement, up until this all they had was Wakefield, Jenny McCarthy and autism. COVID brought in a bigger range of customers.

I fell into the conspiracy theory trap previously, the only one that I still think about is the 9/11 attack on the pentagon. Never did too much research after but it's mad that I haven't seen any clear video of the plane crashing into the pentagon. I don't think it's a big cover up thing or anything just something strange.

You've found a validator, quick fill them with pseudo-nonsense about 9/11

Wow. Endlessly defending anti-vaxxers out of some bizarre loyalty to them.

A bunch of people who attack science, who encourage others to ignore medical advice. At one stage, up to 80% and even 90% of Covid patients in ICU's were unvaccinated, how many of them were convinced by online quackery of the type we see on this forum?

We aren't talking about people pretending we didn't land on the moon and all the other nonsense that goes on here, we are talking about people refusing widely available medical treatment during a pandemic, contracting Covid and then getting seriously ill, even dying - because they read or consumed information that was deliberately incorrect.

Do you run around convincing people you know to ignore the advice of their GPs? How is this any different?

What a truly fucked up hobby to have.

Is not what I wrote.

This is incorrect. If you are fit and unhealthy you are much more unlikely to die from Covid, unlikely doesn't mean impossible. You are interpreting it wrong or simply don't understand how risk works.

You systematically defend anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists in here and denigrate posters who challenge them.

That's great, Covid can still kill you. Fit and healthy people have died from it, children with no underlying conditions have died from it. Yes, it's rare, but you keep assuming it's impossible, which is false.

You represent a handful of anti-vaxxers on the site, confined to a conspiracy theory forum, so it's not much of an issue. However the principle is still the same. You are spreading ignorance and validating disinfo about vaccines on a discussion site.

On a population level that has an effect. People become persuaded by anti-vax disinfo and don't take the vaccine. Since the vaccine can reduce deaths from Covid by up to 80% or 90% (depending) and there are millions and millions of people not taking them due to the disinfo, you do the math.

If you can do the math that is, I think you struggle to understand basic risk.

You didn't address any of my points.

It's very simple, anti-vaxx disinformation can cause people to avoid vaccines. That can have real life consequences. It's not hard to understand.

Has anyone here produced a credible conspiracy theory about vaccines? No.

Free fall…like people who piss off Putin taking flying lessons from high windows?

But cheerful you demonstrated that you don't understand what freefall is.

It took us months to get you to attempt a simple physics problem, after which you got the answer wrong and declared you were off by 2-4 seconds because the dust and smoke in the air would have slowed the building by that much.

You have constantly refused to actually explain why "free fall" indicates that it's a conspiracy and you've constantly refused to explain how this free fall was achieved in any detail.

Likewise you've refused to explain why they would have caused this freefall.

You've refused to provide examples of free fall occurring during demolition of other building.

You've refused to explain any of the statement from actual experts that you believe are contradictory.

You just keep bleating "free fall" and copy pasting stuff and smearing mspaint over pictures.

This isn't a convincing conspiracy theory. Pretty telling and funny that you aren't able to see that.

You are claiming that Jews, Arabs and "Nazis" worked together to bring the World Trade Center towers down. A view that no one else in the entire world has, just you. It keeps changing, you can't provide any solid details when asked and you expect people to believe you. If you walked into a shrink's office and said this they'd start classifying you right away.

Why not?

During an infectious viral pandemic, people together = more infections. Therefore at the peak of the pandemic, when national health systems were coming under critical strain, we needed to reduce the number of cases. We needed to temporarily stop people gathering at nightclubs, pubs and venues to reduce the spread. Hence the temporary restrictions.

Being young, fit and healthy absolutely reduces your chances but it doesn't make you completely invincible to the virus. You can be hospitalized due to Covid. That takes up a hospital bed and requires hospital staff. You can die due to Covid, that takes up ICU, and more staff.

The vaccines reduced the chances of hospitalization and death. Therefore reduced the strain on our national healthcare system.
