Which has always been my go-to line when people demand information and then freak out when they get it. I was not alive then but I do remember the stories of Welles' War of the Worlds.
Doing a quick Google search on "conspiracy theories 2020" rendered "About 81,700,000 results". That's a whole lot of nonsense floating around. It's why Snopes became a thing.
Part of that Google result:
"Most Americans (71%) have heard of a conspiracy theory circulating widely online that alleges that powerful people intentionally planned the coronavirus outbreak. And a quarter of U.S. adults see at least some truth in it – including 5% who say it is definitely true and 20% who say it is probably true, according to a June Pew Research Center survey."
Wiki even has a page dedicated to conspiracy theories that are broken down by subject into 12 sections with a total of 50 subsections.
That’s beyond sad.
