99% of dead people show no symptoms.
(The 1% in the survey was faking it for life insurance fraud purposes).

The powers that be don't want you checking and thinking for yourself - search for 'Covid/Coronavirus hoax' and you'll come up with nothing recent, just stuff from months ago. Youtube, Google. There's a lot of stuff being deleted without your knowing. Thank god for that.

It's a bit sad that nutty conspiracy theories get deleted. Almost like a recruitment agent for nutty conspiracy theorists.
This internet thing is well dodgy.
Oh well I'm off to watch more pre-2020 darts videos on my phone. I really like darts

Conspiracy theories rely on the inability/difficulty in proving a negative - that is a scientific fact...

Religions require faith or belief that will withstand any opposing argument ... which I suppose could also be argued for conspiracy theories.

I don't think that religion itself could be a conspiracy theory.
It is definitely a conspiracy but not in itself a theory.
It's real. Obviously the existence of a deity is clearly impossible but the existence of religion is very real.
One could engage in a conspiracy theory type of outlook regarding religion in general but I find it better to just accept that some people have "issues".

I'd argue that it is a theory, born out of the desire to make sense of the world and then turned into trying to maintain control over the 'heathens' that were not behaving themselves.

Pretty much exactly what I have thought for a while now (so it can't be too unique a conclusion).
