    I don’t oppose ridiculing conspiracy theories, particularly when they deserve it. However, I’m with @MarkHoofnagle. Where were all you rationalists when the conspiracy theory that is climate science denial took over @GOP? Or during the last five years, when antivax did the same?https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1304567255372570625 …

    On the anniversary of 9/11, a reminder of how we used to deal with odious conspiracy theories: Ridicule. For years, there were attempts to portray 9/11 as an inside job led by shadowy U.S. elites. A lot of people believed it. But most people reacted with scorn. /1

        And conspiracy theories to justify lies about evolution, abortion, public health, contraception, condoms and spread of HIV, homosexuality, I mean, there's too many to list. They've increasingly been the conspiracy theory party since Reagan, and accelerating with Gingrich and CWA.

        Oh god I forgot. Conspiracies about origins of gun violence, gang violence, immigration, sharia law, universal healthcare, vaccines, medical ethics (remember stem cells?), virtually anything Obama ever did - Benghazi, operation Jade Helm, Fast and Furious...It has been *non-stop*

        As a RN, I have always approached conspiracy theories as appropriate. I am all into holistic therapies except when my kid’s lives are at stake. We no longer do the flu shot- my son had a crazy reaction, but I can be both medicine & holistic at the same time. I think it’s good.

        Also, once I review studies regarding COVID vax, I plan on both kids plus us as mom & dad, to receive it. I believe in an appropriate mix of medicine. We use essential oils but also take meds. Balance people. Plus Fauci is amazing!

        Conspiracy theories thrive on misinformation, nothing political about them in earlier days, but with Social Media they take on a life of there own. You decide what to believe, then you politicize because these types need the confirmation and the love.
