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

sad one as its about to kill a lot of people Link

And one of the biggest concerns is that many of the far-right worshippers who are potentially infected believe the virus was planted as part of a conspiracy to close it down.
Many are refusing to be contacted, let alone tested.
And there is also one other major risk factor. Infected members of the Shincheonji church were mostly young - in their 20s. But the current outbreak is affecting a much older age group.
Members of the Sarang Jeil Church, which roughly translates as "Love Comes First", are right-wing conservatives and maintain that President Moon Jae-in is a communist and a puppet of China and North Korea.
Before the coronavirus outbreak, they would gather in their hundreds in the centre of Seoul each Saturday loudly rallying and marching past the Blue House to denounce the South Korean leader.
One of the church's pastors, Lee Hae-suk, told my colleagues at Reuters last week - after she tested positive for the virus - that this was a plot to "kill Sarang Jeil Church by increasing the number of confirmed cases".
When asked who she thinks is behind the "plot", she said: "Moon Jae-in".

"I used to dismiss conspiracy theorists as contemptible idiots. Then one of my relatives became one. In the past few months I have watched someone I love — someone who used to believe in science, rational thought and the collective good — become an anti-vaxxer, anti-5Ger, anti-masker, a "plandemic" disciple and a "sovereign citizen" suspicious of any collective purpose.
Conspiracy theories are not simply a hobby. They have become an all-consuming identity akin to a cult." Coronavirus: How conspiracy theories are breaking my heart

Laugh or cry on the topic? 1 in 5 not getting babies vaccines is a worry. Religious types being anti Covid19 for a specific vaccine was a surprise

It's just the need to 'belong' and feel part of a community that respects your 'acquired' beliefs.

Religion is like that I feel. Particularly for people converted or often confronting being mortal. I may be weird as when seriously close to dying last year I distinctly recall wondering 4 things. Do I hit the back, middle front or try and slide in front of the car and that Gent drivings face has been looking at me as he drove over 3 traffic lanes, why doesn't he brake or turn No religious enlightenment for my salty soul I get to meet a few people with terminal illness at work. Many see the light

I've got a great one here, Brighteon

Basically, someone has dug up info purporting to be COVID - 19 (Nasty Virus appearing in 2019) Test Kits which had to be invented/designed, manufactured and sold BEFORE December 2018, as that's the "USE-BY" date on this packet....

And sold by the World Bank, before 2019, long before... BOMBSHELL: The World Bank sold COVID-19 test kits to Greece and other countries in...2017!!! - Greek News On Demand / ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΝΕΑ ΤΩΡΑ

So, from a quick F/F of the video, more than a few countries are 'in' on the joke, ordering test kits a year or three before the virus FIRST arrives.... just like Dr Fauci predicted it would.

Speaking of Fauci, the "asymptomatic'' transmission that is terrifying us at the moment, - is debunked by him at around 5min 35+ seconds. It DOES happen with bacteria, but rarely if EVER with a virus.

Anyone able to shed some light on this link ?- I think its the one in the video... Medical Test kits (300215) imports by country | 2017

Gotta love the 'Southern Belle accent'.
