"The more important focus is surely upon those who harm, by spreading malicious falsehoods, to deter people from getting vaccinated " .this for me. I have also been called a murderer, told I don't deserve to have children and my disabled special needs daughter had messages saying that i was trying to cull her with making her have the vaccine... I don't mind if people don't want something, or even why. It's when it's due to false or ludicrous reasons that they push onto everyone that I will then call them a conspiracy theorist | |||

Now in his teens, he took them to court. His parents were both believers of the anti vax movement. | |||

"A theory is just any theory that people are conspiring to achieve some goal. Obviously there are BIG conspiracy theories such as the US government faking The Moon Landings, and the CIA assassinating Kennedy and framing Lee Harvey Oswald. Anyone who believes one or any of these "theories" could be labelled as a Conspiracy Theorists.

If I believed something outside the mainstream, I wouldn't be at all troubled if I were labelled a conspiracy theorist, if I could back up what I was saying with evidence that withstood serious scrutiny. The problem is that most people who attract that label, tend not to. It's all internally referenced and they dismiss anything that doesn't conform to their ideas. | |||

It's when it's due to false or ludicrous reasons that they push onto everyone that I will then call them a conspiracy theorist " The same can be said on the flip side. While the narrative was still that I had to get as many vaccines as they deemed necessary to "save granny", I was called a murderer, it was also suggested I should lose my job, access to medical treatment, be put in camps and many other things. All because I decided I wasn't going to have the booster  There is awful vitriol and name calling on both sides.
You do what is right for you and your family. If my kids were at risk I'd take a jab a day regardless of any perceived risk to myself.
As for conspiracies, JFK was killed for his anti Vietnam and opposition to the many coming proxy wars. I've watched and read hundreds of hours on this. It's a personal fav  | |||

"The CIA in a way of belittling anyone who questioned the JFK murder " This was what I thought. If someone coined the term before the CIA was formed, then the CIA were the ones who popularised its use.

Anyone daft enough to blow the whistle may at best be labelled a complete nut job, conspiracy theorist, right wing extremist and have threats made against them. At worst they could be sent to swim with the fishes. Goodness knows what might happen to a person that goes against those who control the flow of information.

Peace and love brother " big pharma is an issue. I agree. Especially in the US. Similarly, I can believe govenments do interesting deals. There appears to be something unusual in the OU/AZ contract But it is a jump from that to believing there are health issues with the various vaccines. Indeed, you'd need to look at each individually as they work by different mechanisms. Or start to believe big pharma was complict in COVID to start with. Each claim needs it's own evidence. Unfortunately for many who see a different version of events there is no cohesive alternative explanation and there are many who throw out demonstratably false "evidence". The sportsmen fallacy being one such example. This is maginifed by many not even seeking to look at the evidence itself, but trust someone else's interpretation. | |||

My academic training is in ancient history. I remember having a random conversation with someone who had had a bit too much to drink. He asked me something I couldn't answer. Not because it was wildly brilliant, but because it contained so many errors that none of the parts of the question made sense. It's one thing to say, we don't know how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, it seems unlikely given what we know about their technological capabilities (I would argue that lack of health and safety, plus unfree labour, is a big part of that answer - the Greeks after the classical period mimicked electrical devices with their unfree underclass). It's another thing to go off on a half cocked rant about the types of aliens that conspired in Egypt and central America. | |||

If you have used this term here before, this question is for you: Who created the term and why? Answers on a postcard please. "For me it would be a person who enjoys theorising about a conspiracy. That conspiracy can be of their own making or others and their theorising can now be conducted to a massive audience via social media. Is there any merit to their theorising. Maybe, maybe not. Each one should be viewed on its merit. Social media has meant most have gone from the guy at the end of the bar who touches the side of his nose frequently before speaking to a social media expert.

"Most conspiracy theorists aren't really conspiracy theorists -- they're typically conspiracy speculators using confirmation bias and dubious sources to back up preconceived notions. Real theorists do real research and are quite prepared to be proven wrong -- and not by watching hours of videos on bitchute or wherever. I think that, in terms of covid, it's a mass response to trauma -- like, slipping into denial as a way of coping with a world in turmoil. Understandable, but totally irrational." Confirmation bias is absolutely responsible for a lot of how we've become over the last few years. Most are victims of it, but have no clue. | |||

"A theory is just any theory that people are conspiring to achieve some goal. Obviously there are BIG conspiracy theories such as the US government faking The Moon Landings, and the CIA assassinating Kennedy and framing Lee Harvey Oswald. Anyone who believes one or any of these "theories" could be labelled as a Conspiracy Theorists. Cal So believe the truth you are a conspiracy theorist and go along with the stories the government force on to you to believe and you are sound of mind......mmmm.....not all as it seems to be here.......oh wait.....no doesn't matter as I don't want to be labled a conspiracy theorist.......?" The world has changed immeasurably in the last 20 years and we are not yet equipped to effectively deal with the information we receive. In the past we got our information from TV and the newspapers and although the news we received wasnt infallible at least we could call out anyone who was spreading fake news or lies and their career in news would effectively be over, so we could have at least a little faith in it. Nowadays many people get their news from the anarchy of social media. People can jump onto social media and tell the world anything they want, they can fabricate false stories and false statistics to support their claims and the more fantastic the story is the faster it spreads like wildfire, with people adding their own bits onto it to make it even more fanciful until we get whole groups of our society who actually believe this "conspiracy theory" and are willing to put their lives and the lives of their friends and family at risk because "someone" who they have never heard of before and in many cases dont even know who said it, has convinced them that the vaccine that the worlds governments have almost bankrupted themselves to produce is a plot to insert microchips into your body and control you. It makes me pretty sad that so many people can be so gullible as to believe this fantasy but I truly believe that the people who start these chinese whispers should be made to pay for their actions that have cost the lives of thousands if not millions of people. | |||

"I don't remember which theories were about with Blair. My guess, if I asked now, is people we remember the parts that have a ring of truth and forget those that weren't close to being true. It's the same across many conspiracy theories, some may be right or close to right. Many will be false. Others will be called a conspiracy due to a certain position, which will then get ignored later. (an example of this is trump saying he had evidence of Wuhan leaks. That has yet to be shown to be true, but I've seen people claim that the lab theory was being called a conspiracy theory. Im sure some have ruled it out, but don't recall a strong conspiracy narrative) the main challenge I find is some people will back every theory. And they will double down if challenged. Often these people are as "dictated to" as us "sheep". It's just their leader isn't as high profile. A lack of scrutiny and expertise somehow adds credibility. Believing in specific cases because you have alternative views on information. Fine. Always taking a contrarian view, and using dodgy sources to back that. Makes me tend towards thinking you want conspiracies to be true. " Mr Blairs government conspiracy of weapons of mass destruction, there is no conspiracy theory just plain conspiracy. | |||

You are correct - 100%! We don't start conflicts just to get rid of munitions. Happens regularly with small arms ammunition in particular. It has a shelf life in exactly the same way a loaf of bread would. | |||

Plenty of 'information' in the press backed thos theory, so many, many people bought into it. The truth is somewhat different. While I'm absolutely NOT a fan of Tony Blair, the reality was very different. Although it's never been highly publicised it's no longer a secret that Saddam Hussein deliberately started with a false information campaign that he had WMD. This was picked up by signals intelligence in the US and UK, with Saddam knowing they were listening. This deliberate misinformation was designed to deter an invasion from Iran and neighbouring countries, which had become much stronger over time, rather than NATO, as he was primarily interested in not showing how weak his forces truly were, despite having many battle-hardened troops post Iran/Iraq conflict. Unfortunately this backfired on him big time and the destabilisation of the entire region began. | |||

"A recent report in the USA has shown that twice as many Republicans died of covid than Democrats. An antivax stance was a cornerstone of many Republican politicians. As a consequence we are witnessing natural selection at work. Those who refuse the vaccine, for whatever reason, good or bad, were twice as likely to die. I am assuming, when it came to the recent midterms, the bereaved relatives of the dead showed their disapproval of the antivax political stance by giving the Democrats control of the Senate and made the Republicans less powerful than expected in the House of representatives.

Republicans had higher xs deaths. However the difference went from 22pc to 153pc after the vaccines came in. The gap in excess death rates between Republicans and Democrats is concentrated in counties with low vaccination rates and only materializes after vaccines became widely available. There may be other variables. But there evidence to support a hypothesis that there was a different use of vaccines between supporters. It may be post vaccine risk behaviour. But then one may ask why that wasn't seen elsewhere with high vaccine use. | |||

"Conspiracy theories are largely the invention of stupid people to make themselves feel intelligent. Leading flat earth advocate claims he is right because there are flat earth believers all over the globe . ROFL"Is that what you genuinely think? You see I think "conspiracy" has become a very misused word now. It is used to label and argue against people who don't agree with you. It is used to justify and ignore the/any opposing evidence. It is used by people of limited intelligence for whatever reason and it is used by incredibly intelligent people and organisations to achieve end games and worryingly some are very effective in creating and directing opinion that becomes self fulfilling. Personally I think the abuse of media to create and manage false information and Conspiracy is more dangerous to our future well being than was covid and the vaccines and all its side effects (sic) But that is just my opinion. | |||

" Dumb people trying to feel smart by inventing or propagating wild conspiracy theories cause real conspiracies to get lost in the noise." Which is, of course, why the establishment invented all these daft theories about vaccines and JFK being murdered by the CIA, and the moon landings. Who gains most from dumb conspiracy theories? It's clearly the establishment. I'm just saying... | |||

But its just as likely it could be their own behaviours and immune system doing its job though isn't it? Like most infectious diseases. Given that vaccines efficacy against spreading omicron is remarkably short lived. | |||

"I didn't get a single jab and I'm healthy which is more than I can say for the covidians out there getting illness after illness and illness... As Johnny Rotten once said 'ever feel like you've been cheated?' " The peak World Covid mortality rate, at the height of the pandemic, was 8%. So you are one of the 92% of the world citizens who did not die if they caught it. Congratulations sir!! However, for those that made up the deaths, their mortality rate was 100%. The statistics indicate the death rate fell hugely once the vaccinations were widely used. I therefore do not feel cheated, as do the rest who survived, because of the vaccination programme. | |||

"Looking through these forum posts I can't help notice how many times some people use the term 'conspiracy theorist'. If you have used this term here before, this question is for you: Who created the term and why? Answers on a postcard please. "From what I have understood and learned about it, is that the term was coined/created by the cia to use as a means of covering up information that is potentially important/impactful. The term has been generalised for use by the masses, but with the wrong context and so it is used to ridicule certain people that come out with information that could jeopardise and de-legitimise those in power. | |||

I read and enjoyed Bad Pharma several years ago, etc. I just think that jumping from that to harvesting children in Ukrainian tunnels is silly. And a useful distraction for genuine bad actors - it's only the kooks who think Pfizer are evil, don't look behind the curtain. Like "trust the government always" is 0, adrenochrome basements is a million. I'm probably somewhere in the hundreds - power corrupts and absolute power is very nice too. Powerful bodies work together to shield each other, and we need to work on demanding evidence and accountability. Let's follow the evidence and demand higher standards. I have no idea if the person I'm quoting believes in the adrenochrome or Martian elements that can come into this. Some do. But they might say I mischaracterise them by pointing out the ridiculous extremes. "I believe the BBC always and never think pharma do anything wrong" is also an extreme, and is a mischaracterisation of my position. I think we should spend our energy trying to work out how to navigate misinformation, develop our own critical thinking skills, and who we can (at least conditionally) trust. I trust government and big pharma if and only if I can verify. | |||
