Conspiracy Theories - The new Utterly Ridiculous Thread or is it?

Because elementary science is not taught either in our schools nor, it seems, most of the others around the world! (Might be on the curriculum, but it is not taught!)

It's amazing how during 12 years of science lessons not a single thing gets taught. They must just sit around during those periods and sing Kumbaya. See, now there is a conspiracy amongst Science teachers all over the world! Students, teachers, universitys, governing organisations and governments are all in on this, but nobody is talking..... well, Julian Assange was going to talk, but look what happened there!

"Project Aura was Newport’s first job for the federal government. Things moved quickly and smoothly, employees and federal officials said in interviews.

Every three months, officials with the biomedical research agency would visit Newport’s headquarters. Mr. Crawford submitted monthly reports detailing the company’s spending and progress.

The federal officials “would check everything,” he said. “If we said we were buying equipment, they would want to know what it was used for. There were scheduled visits, scheduled requirements and deliverables each month.”

In 2011, Newport shipped three working prototypes from the company’s California plant to Washington for federal officials to review.

Dr. Frieden, who ran the C.D.C. at the time, got a demonstration in a small conference room attached to his office. “I got all excited,” he said. “It was a multiyear effort that had resulted in something that was going to be really useful.”
In April 2012, a senior Health and Human Services official testified before Congress that the program was “on schedule to file for market approval in September 2013.” After that, the machines would go into production.

Then everything changed.

The medical device industry was undergoing rapid consolidation, with one company after another merging with or acquiring other makers. Manufacturers wanted to pitch themselves as one-stop shops for hospitals, which were getting bigger, and that meant offering a broader suite of products. In May 2012, Covidien, a large medical device manufacturer, agreed to buy Newport for just over $100 million.

I'm not being dumb (maybe I am) but,
Why do people think Corona Virus is caused by 5G?
Even using my wildest Sci-Fi imagination I just can't make the link?

Probably summat wrong with one of your circuit Boards then, Jonesy.

Maybe I should have said "is not learned". I cannot conceive how anyone with even a smattering of science could entertain most of these conspiracy theories. I wasn't trying to belittle science teachers - but the issue seems to be that despite the science that is taught at most schools, and has been for probably a hundred years, there is still a large proportion of the adult population who regularly demonstrate that they have no understanding of it.

I'll dismount my hobbyhorse now!

You're quite right, John. I mean, c'mon! If the earth was flat, why would there be a need for tall 5G towers? Absolute stupidity!

Because the radio waves fall to earth just like your 308 over distance ($20. for 20)

Believe me, there'll be Triffids walking down your street before the year is out.

There is a pretty wide academic range in the population. People some people make connections better than others and we all forget. I bet most don't recognise the maths used with the CoronaVirus which they also learnt at school.

there is no virus
5g is mind control or the real cause of the sickness

So 5g won't fry your brains (which if it is dangerous I would have thought would be the thing) but it will give you a runny nose & a cough?
Makes sense!
