This article is well worth the read because they're going to be implementing certain tactics to thwart "conspiracy theories" because, you know, it's just all crazy talk and none of it's true. We all need to start believing the correct thing... or re-education is in order.
In the face of that anxiety, changing a person’s beliefs is a tall order. “It’s about wanting to give them the motivation to believe the correct thing,” Miller says. “But tackling the motivation side is a heck of a problem.”
That’s a scary thought given the increasingly real-world implications of some conspiracy theories. The theory known as Pizzagate, for example, led an armed man to travel to Comet Ping Pong, the alleged hub of the alleged Clinton sex trafficking operation, to, as he put it, “self investigate”.

Self anointed Eugenics Priest Bill Gates leading the Vax movement should make anyone wary of trusting injections.
Interesting how you lumped in flat-Earthers with that faggot.

Even if I did believe a fraction of what you're saying, vaccines have been around a lot longer than Bill Gates.
