Or that everyone who got a vaccine would be dead in a year

I was literally told that I was in danger of being "liquified" within 2 years. Literal melting in my skin Indiana Jones style

I saw someone spreading the idea that it would turn people into bioweapons, Resident Evil style.

"any moment now anyone who got the vax is gonna flop over and start foaming at the mouth, I heard it on the My Pillow Guy show."

I can't decide which is more depressing, people stupid enough to believe the shit, or the absurd lack of credibility their sources provide - fucking rubes and idiotic liars deserve each other I guess.

If the government wanted to kill people, they'd kill those who refused to comply.

So the thing that would make more sense, is that the COVID vaccine was an antidote, and the government was going to release a toxic gas to kill everyone who didn't take it.

But nah, their argument is that the government is killing those who comply. Ya, because that makes sense.

That's one of the things that bugs me about conspiracy theories. So many of them don't even have a point.

How can so many be people be so wrapped up in conspiracism, but never once have the though, "Oh, wait, why would anyone do this? It'd be pointless."

It's because people aren't wired that way. There's a name for that phenomenon, but I forgot.

The idea behind it is that people make up "reasons" (conspiracy strategies) that fit the event. A big event needs a big reason, they can't just accept that some things happen due to accidents or just by chance.

That's why Covid can't have been natural, it must have escaped from a lab! The government is giving us free vaccines? It can't be that they just want to get us back to work, there must be a secret plot behind that!
