Conspiracy Theories are everywhere, unfortunately some gullible people fall for them. People are prone to deception. That doesn’t make them bad or even really dumb.
Hopefully this article will open some people’s eyes to not believe everything on the internet. We live in the Golden Age of Conspiracy Theories where anyone can publish anything and everyone might believe it.
The Internet is full of conspiracy theories. From the 5G Coronavirus CT, Vaccines cause Autism CT, and so on. Here, i’ll show you 10 conspiracy theories that have already been debunked with enough evidence to get proven wrong (P.S., I am not a government’s reptilian).
No. Coronavirus IS real. Conspiracy Theories all around the world started appearing when the COVID-19 Pandemic started, things such as: 5G and Bill Gates, USA Train Carrying COVID ‘Gas’, or saying that it’s a government hoax. KCL AC UK, Medical Futurist, BBC, and Ubyssey CA have already debunked all these COVID-19 conspiracy theories.
TRUTH: Other than all the doctors, professors that have already scientifically and mathematically debunked all that, how come that 5G networks are only deployed in 34 countries, while COVID-19 is present in 212 countries at the moment?
Back when the internet was quite new and there wasn’t a whole lot of conspiracy theories, we didn’t take conspiracy theorists seriously, and just didn’t care. But if it comes to a point where they become a threat to OUR safety; then we need to talk more about this. Just as dangerous as thinking COVID-19 is a hoax, Vaccines cause autism, it’s also dangerous to ignore Global Warming when it’s a real scientific thing.
TRUTH: There are 99.9% scientific consensus on climate change is wrong (source), but conspiracy theorists still don’t seem to understand it. Weather. Is not the same thing as Climate. 14 of the 15 warmest years on record, have occurred since 2000. I miss the days when our go-to conspiracy theories were just Big Foot and Aliens, not extremely dangerous claims like invalidating Climate Change when it kills 400,000 a year (source – source)
This. This is just insane. I always try to not give my opinion while writing, but it should be a crime to not vaccinate your children. Ah, apparently all scientists, doctors, professors, biologists and physicists all around the world, came in one “New World Order” room to invent something called a vaccine so they’d control your newborn children when you vaccinate them. That does make a lot of sense.
TRUTH: Five cohort studies involving 1,256,407 children, and five case-control studies involving 9,920 children were included in this analysis. The cohort data revealed no relationship between vaccination and autism (source).
Now, this is where you lose me. You have to be legitimately brainwashed to invalidate the existence of gravity, the universe, all the other planets, galaxies, etc. Forget that flat earthers are saying NASA is wrong, but they’re also saying there are 72 Government space agencies all around the world, dozens of private space companies, scientists from everywhere, astronauts, etc. They are all wrong too? Why can you see the sun which is 93 million miles away, but you can’t see New York City from Seattle even standing on any mountain range?
TRUTH: If you’re looking for good arguments against a flat earther you are debating right now. Don’t. There are no arguments. Flat earthers are simply wrong and stupid. It’s like talking to a brick wall, don’t bother. Waste of time.
We have a long cultural history of telling stories of advanced civilizations living among the stars—civilizations that have much faster spaceships than we do. That’s an argument about human nature, not astrophysics. There is nothing at all connected to our current understanding of the real world that points us toward “technology of intelligences originating from a different planet” as an explanation for things we see in the clouds. When astronomers search for life out there in the universe, they start not with science fiction, but with a logic grounded in what we know about the stars.
TRUTH: Space is big. The distance to the closest star to our Sun, Proxima Centauri, is so large that even light takes more than four years to cross the expanse, and the fastest spacecraft we’ve ever built would take more than 70,000 years. Whatever tech an alien civilization might have, it’s reasonable to assume they would take the short option first, and send an electromagnetic signal. Or perhaps they would build some large, obvious, electromagnetic radiation–absorbing structure in their own backyard. With programs like the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), we’ve searched for both. So far, no luck (source).
Almost 20 years later, 9/11 conspiracy theories are still discussed. Popular Mechanics, History UK, books and scientists have already debunked all the biggest 9/11 conspiracy theories. They just won’t stop.
TRUTH: Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F (source), not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F) (source). However, experts agree that for the towers to collapse, their steel frames didn’t need to melt, they just had to lose some of their structural strength (source)—and that required exposure to much less heat.
I still don’t know why so many people still believe in BigFoot. It has been debunked both by the FBI (source), National Geographic (source), and many investigators. Since the 1950s, the United States’ version of this has been BigFoot and since 1976 (source), the FBI has had a file on him.
TRUTH: The assistant director of the FBI’s scientific and technical services division found that the hair didn’t belong to Bigfoot. In early 1977, the hair was sent back, along with a scientific conclusion: “the hairs are of deer family origin.” Four decades later, the bureau declassified its “Bigfoot file” (source) about this analysis. Curb your conspiracy theory.
Anti-Semetic conspiracy theorists? Who doesn’t love them. They think a rich family secretly ran the world. While it was all in the late 18th century, but they still think they’re the richest in the world. Walton family, an American family is the richest family in the world. The Rothchilds aren’t even in the top 20 richest families in the world list.
TRUTH: Most of the Rothchilds around today still have lots of wealth. However, today the Rothchilds little power and wealth compared to what they had at their peek and in fact, just one Rothchild (Benjamin de Rothschild) is the 1,349th richest person in the world (source). There are 2,825 billionares in the world (source) who have no ties to the Rothchilds whatsoever, so how can only the Rothchilds control the world?
Which have also been debunked by History.com, BBC and even Wikipedia! This requires a whole page to debunk it, but evidence is everywhere if conspiracy theorists really did “question everything”. That’s why I linked some other articles debunking all Moon Landing CTs.
TRUTH: In simple sentences, high contrast is why you can’t see stars, studios can’t create low-gravity vacuum, other countries tracked it, we have moon rocks, and we left reflectors there. End of discussion. No further discussion required. Finis.
In 1785, Duke of Bavaria Karl Theodor banned secret societies, including the Illuminati, and instituted serious punishments for anyone who joined them. Most of the group’s secrets were disclosed or published, and, it’s history; you can’t deny it. Almost immediately after the Illuminati were disbanded, conspiracy theories about the group sprang up.
TRUTH: Some of the Founding Fathers managed to stoke interest in the Illuminati in the United States. In 1798, George Washington wrote a letter addressing the Illuminati threat (he believed it had been avoided, but his mentioning it helped bolster the myth). In the panic caused by the anti-Illuminati books and sermons. In simple terms, they were just some old people trying to do quirky rituals and live off the grid.
Conspiracy Theorists are some undebatable r-words that you shouldn’t waste your time trying to convince them otherwise.
