to explain Coronavirus/vaccine/new restrictions? Obviously, there's the one about Bill Gates using the vaccine to track us.

I've heard a few variations on Brexit-inspired versions - preventing Europeans from coming in before the Brexit deadline or as some way to support negotiations.

Lots in the beginning suggesting that it was all so the government could "control" us - but I never got an answer as to what they wanted to do with this control.

Any other good ones I should look out for? It would be entertaining AND useful as I know a few people who do come out with these fairly often. And after 2 weeks off school there's at least one school mum I need to be prepared for! Grin

The great reset to get rid if the middle class and be controlled by one big corporation or something like that.

SpaceOp · 26/12/2020 21:43

To get rid of the middle classes? I hadn't heard that. But I do like how completely impractical it is in that the Middle Classes don't seem to be doing so badly out of it!?

The flu jab will infect you with covid and the covid jab will kill people off completely 😳

It literally restructures your dna

I've heard this one but I didn't realise it was a conspiracy theory. I thought it was just people being stupid! Smile

World leaders have conspired together to create Covid and use it as a way to reduce our carbon footprint.......

Also, they are making us wear masks to make us more compliant.

slipperywhensparticus · 26/12/2020 22:34

I cant find the actual video but this is the debunking video where he discussed all she said

Drbrowns · 26/12/2020 22:39

That the Covid injection will make women infertile because the world is over populated, and they need to depopulate. If that was the case would they not just let Covid run wild and kill people off that way?

Christmasbeach · 26/12/2020 22:39

'Covid came from last years flu jab - or was it to reduce the bodies antibodies so when all the old people catch covid they're gonners'.

'A whole world order'.

'it doesn't exist but a placebo'.

'wearing masks reduce our natural defence system by not being exposed to germs and in the future we won't be able to fight any infections/viruses'.

My DP family are very very conspiracy heavy and i'm glad I got out of having to spend 3 straight days with them and everyone being drunk.

Burnthurst187 · 26/12/2020 22:40

That if you have the vaccine it will stop you being able to reproduce. The whole covid thing has been done to bring down numbers, cut down on commuting (pollution) and basically it's a huge reset lol

OldWomanSaysThis · 26/12/2020 22:40

COVID was injected into society by an alien race who wants to rid Earth of the humans who are destroying it.

(I actually heard this before the pandemic, so that's super weird.)

Well that makes sense, that’s why they’re starting the vaccination with all the really fertile 90 year olds Grin
DoTheNextRightThing · 26/12/2020 22:50

That the swab up your knows actually places a microchip in your brain.

Someone I went to school with posted this on her Facebook and was totally serious. I despair.

DoTheNextRightThing · 26/12/2020 22:51

Up your nose ! I'm half asleep Grin

RhubarbBikini · 26/12/2020 22:54

The vaguest and eeriest conspiracy theory of all... "there's something they're not telling us"

EasterIssland · 26/12/2020 22:57

The new strain has been announced days after the COVID vacs have started. This is because the new strain is the side effect of this vaccination. So you’re basically being infected and become super spreader.

Scautish · 26/12/2020 23:02

That people who start conspiracy theories are actually really intelligent and are spreading distraction to keep focus away from The Real Agenda.

UsernameN0Tavailable · 26/12/2020 23:06

I have a colleague that believes that climate change has reached a 'Day after tomorrow' tipping point and they had to construct a reason to take cars off the road and planes out the sky to dramatically reduce emissions before it was too late.

OhioOhioOhio · 26/12/2020 23:07

Those in power are definitely enjoying their power. Conspiracy or not.

You think so? I actually think it’s one of the worse jobs currently being a pm. And I say this as an European person from a country where labour is in power and are taking similar decisions as the tories and being criticised as well. I’d rather have my job at the moment than theirs.
slipperywhensparticus · 26/12/2020 23:40

The vague there is something they are not telling us is most likely the truth there is probably LOADS they arnt telling us we won't sit down with them for hours going through the paperwork that's their job 😉

Apparently it's been brought in to take the focus off brexit our government who couldn't organise a secret piss up in the houses of Parliament organised a global pandemic to get brexit done

Seems legit to me

Northernsoulgirl45 · 27/12/2020 00:07

The COVID test contains nano particles which alter your DNA. Amazed a swab on a stick can do that.
Staff are told to put COVID on death certificates as hospital paid thousands pounds for each case.
COVID is just flu rebranded.
Flu jab causes outbreaks in care homes.

FrangipaniBlue · 27/12/2020 00:07

Released on purpose to reduce world overpopulation

The old folks are being given the vaccine first in case one of the side effects is death because it doesn't matter as much if all the old folk die Shock

Lockdown 2.0 was about recharging the squirrels.
