What is your favorite COVID-19 conspriacy theory?

[Mai72]

Mine would have to be the Bill Gates conspiracy. Once a cool nerd, he is now expected to had started COVID-19.

Why Bill why!!! BTW, if anyone knows about viruses it would be BIll. I've had my share running MS Windows 95. Get it.

Conspiracy theories blaming Bill Gates for the coronavirus pandemic are exploding online

An analysis found 16,000 Facebook posts with conspiracy theories about Gates and the virus, as well as 10 related YouTube videos with 5 million views.

None. I fucking hate conspiracy theories. It's like being slapped in the face by a 10# wet blanket made out of stupid.

Aliens.

They test us every 100 years or so to see how much we've advanced in terms of reacting to a pandemic.

That we purposely are withholding generic drugs that can treat this to reward big pharma

Seen more rain then usual and i drove last week through la traffic on the 5 North, had zero traffic come 4-5pm i drove right through with zero slow downs....with that being sad i heard this one about mass extermination and fear installment so people can stay home so the ozone layer can heal itself to prevent global warming.

Not the worst one but almost sounds believable. Humans have more or less trashed this planet with toxicity for years, could be Karma repaying the favor. Sounds like one of those cliche things you see in a sci fi show but its not that far away from the truth.

I've been asked about the 5G one a few times now, lol. The crappy thing is that the fake news on 5G has caused more than 100 incidents so far, including arson:

Burning Cell Towers, Out of Baseless Fear They Spread the Virus (Published 2020)

A conspiracy theory linking the spread of the coronavirus to 5G wireless technology has spurred more than 100 incidents this month, British officials said.

I mean, it's not out of reach that this was a lab-created or lab-modified virus. The virus lab in Wuhan was cited for safety issues a couple years ago:

State Department warned in 2018 Wuhan lab could cause 'new pandemic'

In 2018 two diplomats visited the Wuhan Institute of Virology multiple times from January to March and warned Washington DC of its risk to trigger a pandemic.

I mean, if we're just doing the math here:

Furthermore, another lab located in Wuhan, belonging to the Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was also conducting research on animal coronaviruses and was located next to the Wuhan Seafood Market.

Chinese virus lab + market next door + coronavirus outbreak = ...? I think that's a valid thing to check into, rather than a conspiracy theory...

So your saying where there's smoke there might be fire?

That's just crazy talk!

How about one that involves Putin having an operative releases the virus in Wuhan so they get the blame. The virus travels around the world because stopping capitalism would be wrong for reasons. The virus reaches the US and the admin acts incompetent to help is citizens but in reality it's intent is calculated and malicious. With US citizens fears peaked and the economy weakened Russian and it's allies plan a coordinated attack on our infrastructure leaving us in the dark with little to no communication. Supplies start to dwindle and Americans fight each other for what is left until the country resembles something from a mad max scene. Of course this story has a happy ending since Putin flies in and saves Trump and they live happily ever after together on a beach somewhere in the south of France.

How did I do?

Clearly this is the Jeff Bezo virus.....Amazon has never been stronger.

5G caused the coronavirus since Wuhan was the first city to get 5G.

Also if birds aren't real, bats probably aren't real either. The bats are just mobile 5G hotspot drones.

Only... this one doesn't appear to be a conspiracy. It's real.
