And much of the anti-vax/covid skeptics fall into that last category. Especially when the theories run into circles and contradict each other.

How would you know this though? The nature of conspiracies is secretive, which means it is not clear where the line of fact and paranoia really is, but this doesn't mean it is entirely false.

then me and millions of other people are not convinced there is actually some global takeover coming in the form of a 5 minute jab...

Yes, it is extremely unlikely, however nobody would have believed the lockdowns in 2019, and no one was thinking they would push 100% jabs in 2020. There has been a clear ramp up, and while this could be just a coincidence, it simply points at the fact that what we think is not possible right now might very well be the actual future that awaits us.

A good conspiracy theory is one that makes sense and can actually make the Elites afraid.

If they weren't afraid there would be no threat of punishing those who don't comply. Governments don't care about so many other problems that have killed way more than this virus, and it's very suspicious to me that all of sudden they care so much and are trying to look like only they can solve this. My only concern is really the power grab.

It's very simple. Why does a conspiracy like white genocide garner more attention and censorship then some random wacko who thinks the secret to world domination is hidden in a plastic needle?

Because only one conspiracy has merit and can change political landscapes.

In fact, funny story. In my country, there was actually a political party that ran on antivax. You would think the media would try and cut him out but truth be told, no one paid the antivax party any mind. But if someone ran as a White nationalist or anti-immigration, that's only when the knives came out.

50 years from now, no one is going to give a shit about Covid, and turning it into a platform will just get laughed at by everyone.

Yeah, that's not a bad approach but it seems to bet on the wisdom of the crowd so to speak, whereas I'm not trusting the wisdom of the crowd anymore. Everybody was surprised two years ago with all of this, not just the breakout of the virus, but also the response to it, and if you're in America, it was absolutely used politically to hurt Trump's chances of winning the 2020 election (not saying it was planned as such, but was definitely taken advantage which is expected). So, there are many reasons for me to think most people could be in for a surprise, whether or not it's a conspiracy or just the natural tendency of people in power to become corrupt. I hope you're right and nothing will happen.

I think there are conspiracies that absolutely revolve around the Covid pandemic. For example, it's not an open secret that the lockdown did make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. I don't dispute that.

Those are things that absolutely deserve attention and threatens the political atmosphere.

But the people who block highways or hospital doors claiming the virus and everything about it is fake? They just look like idiots.
