Have any conspiracy theories ever been proven true?

[Newsenmum]

Does anyone know if any past ones have? What have some past ones been? I only know the more recent ones

also quite fancied a CT thread 😳

It was live TV. I believe this to be a pointless discussion between us.

Funded by the US? I haven't heard that one!

That's a shame. All I'm asking you to do is engage your critical thinking skills.
✌️

Try it on someone else perhaps. Perhaps you will get somewhere with them.

I know what I saw. On various TV channels, And you can conspiracy theory all you like, but we will not meet in agreement, so there is no point in back and forth on this. Good luck.

The thing with vaccines is that no one has ever said any of them are safe. Every one has potential side effects. Some people getting the disease will have no symptoms at all and some people having the vaccine will have very bad reactions. But en masse they case way fewer problems than not being vaccinated and most people getting the disease.

Very sorry to everyone who has been affected by the vaccine, especially as you have no way of knowing what would have happened if you weren't vaccinated and got infected instead. I would still rather have a vaccine than see that many people die again.

I always assumed that governments denied the lab link to stop people panicking about what future things could be leaked.

Excuse me. You were the one who engaged me, not the other way round. My post wasn't even to you.

You then said you didn't watch anything pumped out on mainstream media despite that fact that you did indeed watch it pumped out on mainstream media.

🙄

Whatever 🤷‍♀️

Exactly. We finally find some common ground.

Covid jab causes heart problems, I was personally called a conspiracy theorist over that one. It is patently true.

The research into bat coronviruses that was taking place at the Wuhan lab when covid started was funded by the US, it's not a conspiracy theory

Why the vaccine and not covid itself though? I can't see how you'd know.

Great information- thank you. I don’t think things through properly, but now seems obvious that some diseases can be contained to a country in certain circumstances- how I heard/understood it really was that it seemed that a virus was just hanging around for a few months in biggish towns/areas before someone travelled with it, which at first sight seems it would always be implausible, but actually isn’t. A little knowledge to me can be 🤦🏻‍♀️
Actually, your prompt recalls that it was said a scientist (or more) had been disappeared for telling the world - it all sort of went away though, including the ‘disappearances’, after the initial big palaver over how it happened and being possibly angry with China. I’m sure it’s been/being looked at on a review type level, but no one major seems interested, and don’t hear talk about it generally either.
We were never told about these jobs in career discussions at school! Bless those researchers - so many heroes without capes we never see recognised.

I’m always astounded that more people aren’t distrusting large corporations.

Look at cases like PG&E (Erin Brokovitch), Teflon (Dark Waters film), Dopesick and Painkiller (OxyContin).

There are other scandals like this that will come out, only there are a lot of wealthy people invested in keeping them down. Take the covid vaccine for example, so many well respected doctors have spoken out, have conducted their own research, but have ended up being ridiculed and discredited for it. Tbh it’s the behaviour towards them, the shut down of any sort of discussion that was seen here and all over the internet and irl, that has me more convinced that these companies have something to hide. We’ve seen it before, but too many are too blinkered to allow themselves to think outside the box.

I absolutely believe that in the coming decades there will be many more cases coming to light. Maybe then we’ll learn from it and question the party line a little more.

This happened to me, I had posted something on my Instagram stories (politics related) and that story had tens less views than the stories I’d posted before and after it

There are loads of lesser known ones I suppose. About medical or chemical related industry. For years Drs in the USA were happy to prescribe strong opiates for minor ailments whilst telling their patients they were non addictive. I'd say that was a conspiracy. I also listened to a podcast recently with Michael Sheen about a man who was trying to expose the dangers of PCB chemicals. They did some testing for the podcast and found they are basically everywhere in much higher numbers than are safe. Im sure things like this are responsible for many cancers. There's also the illegal dumping of waste everywhere and apparently cancer clusters around these sites but no one will ever look into properly because it would be too big a can of worms.

It’s a side effect not a conspiracy theory.

Spornerq was it a right wing or left wing opinion?

Twitter shadowbanned me years ago for my terfiness. Although X says it no longer does this, the effect's ongoing because I still don't show up in people's feeds. After years of my tweets being invisible, the algorithm assumes nobody's interested. I just don't bother any more unless I want to contact a specific person. Frustrating.

The conspiracy theory that Biden was unfit for office and flailing due to dementia as far back as during his first presidential campaign.
that there were coordinated Asian gangs targeting poor English white girls for sexual abuse and prostitution in English towns and cities on a massive scale and the police knew.
that gay autistic and vulnerable children were being medicalised and having body parts removed to help cure them courtesy of the nhs see Tavistock clinic

It amazes me the number of people who don't want to accept that the vaccine does cause problems ..

AstraZeneca wish you to believe they have withdrawn the vaccine due to lack of demand.. but there is research out there to suggest there are nasty side effects .. my conspiracy is that AZ are paying people off and hiding the true impact of their vaccine.

The fact there are so many people out there with long COVID that have no hope, yet the overlap between long COVID and B12 deficiency is blatant is rarely pointed out. The fact B12 is a 'non-profitable drug' .. is high up there as to why it is not used on the NHS - yet 'profit making big pharma drugs' are used all the time.. (even though these often solve one issue by causing another and a vitamin like B12 is cheap with no side effects' there are some fat cats making lots of money... at the expense of public health).

The AstraZeneca vaccine did have a massive drop in demand due to the known blood clot issue. Millions of people had that vaccine without any problems, a tiny percentage died which was truly awful but nothing is totally risk free. The percentage of people who died of fatal blood clots from an active Covid infection is far higher, the same with myocarditis.

B12 isn't a drug and the NHS is usually (that last crooked lot and their profiteering aside) all about saving money so if that is true I'd think they would just tell Long Covid sufferers to take some supplements and get back to work! In reality the B12 deficiency is only a part of the problem and supplements will not cure LC, it will help with the related issue. Conspiracy theorists do like to simplify things though and pretend there is an easy answer, water powered car anyone?

And did you notice the title of the study you shared? The word 'rare'. We are not pretending there are zero side effects from vaccine, we are saying they are rare. Extremely rare. And none of them have been found to cause cancer but viruses are known to cause cancer.

It did here. More than half of my dcs school were off sick at one point, pupils and teachers. I thought about it in the lock down days but assumed it hadn't been covid because it hit children just as hard as adults. I wonder if it might have been a different mutation? Strangely enough 18 months later when covid went through my entire family, of my immediate family members the only one of nine of us not to get it at the same time was ds, who did have the mystery 2019 virus.

Covid hit hard in 2020, but is part of the coronavirus group of infections, so people may have git corona previously. Just a different strain.

And that's how I felt watching the live coverage of the "Summer of Love". It wasn't loving, it wasn't peaceful, and it sure wasn't cheap.
