The State of Conspiracy Theories

Tuesday, January 24, 2023

Jan 24, 2023 Conspiracy theories feel like they get dumber every day. Just heard a brand new one, so I thought I'd rant and rave on the subject, as I often do.

"Hamlin's collapse spurs new wave of vaccine misinformation

WASHINGTON (AP) " Unfounded claims about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines proliferated in the hours and days after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed during Monday's game, revealing how pervasive vaccine misinformation remains three years after the pandemic began.

Even before Hamlin was carried off the field in Cincinnati, posts amassing thousands of shares and millions of views began circulating online claiming without evidence that complications from COVID-19 vaccines caused his health emergency."

And that was just from Mao Stoneher's twitter account!

Notice how nobody says his heart started up again because of the vaccine.

These are the same people claiming no one died from Covid, it was all "complications".

Bill Maher was right conspiracy theories used to be something fun we talked about while sitting around the campfire preferably while high.

It was never grounds on which to vote for or against anything.

------- reporters now broach conspiracy theory topics when interviewing prominent individuals. For example, some ------- sports reporter asked the Bill's QB about the NFL propping up a look-a-like to hide the fact that Hamlin is actually dead.

What a ------- stupid question.

Damn it, need to read the thread.

Agree, CORKY. This chit is out of hand. It's also ironic considering a major conspiracy theory decades in the making is turning out to be true: the government has been covering up evidence of non-terrestrial craft entering and exiting US airspace with impunity. Worse, it's looking more and more as though the government has evidence of these craft in hand.

Whoops!

*Evidence meaning physical evidence, not just data from instrumentation a la the Tic-Tac incident of 2004.
