This is something I have often noticed amongst CTists. I think I've mentioned it already in this thread but if any experts in the relevant fields have the same views as them, they are all over it like dogs to meat.Why do they believe in them? Because they don't research the original story and quotes for themselves. They get lazy and read someone else's take on it. Suddenly everyone is an expert on vaccinations. LOL.
A family member didn't believe that man landed on the moon, despite all the contrary evidence. But she believed some obscure, dubious German scientist that it was fake. Weird. Eventually she did come around.
It's very easy to get sucked into the conspiracy theories. I remember not buying the official 9/11 story, but then I finally spent several months going through the evidence myself, bought loads of books, listened and watched all the evidence. What happened happened. There was no evil government behind it. 19 hijackers did it. People forget that the security was incredibly relaxed in those days.
Famous people like Russell Brand perpetuate myths and conspiracies about big government, and sometimes he has a point, but there is no plan to control the world, they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery. They are hopeless at doing the simple things.

Not alcohol intended for human consumption though.Many - well TBH, most -conspiracy theories are obvious bunkum. But some are either true or at least based on truth. The most striking, I won't use the favourite as people died, is that the US government poisoned alcohol during prohibition. This killed hundreds of people.
What are you talking about?When i am responsible for something then I should be the expert and not depend on another person's opinion. When i am not competent to make the right decisions i shouldn't take on responsibility in the first place. The fire department is not responsible for my house, the ambulance not for my heart.
What about them?Aliens.
What new regulations?last week i had an argument with my family about new C19 regulations. They said it was in the news so it's official and everyone is saying the same and I'm the only one who doesn't believe it despite all the effort i took to show them the exact regulations from the website of the government. My explanations don't make any sense, they say. Funny thing is the next day they said there isn't enough time to enforce the regulations so everything is postponed a week. It took me 3 days to convince at least some of them that there's probably nothing to the story.
In which country? Nothing to the story if they were thinking it applies to England.@Maeght starting 20th Nov you're required to bring a negative antigen-test result or vaccination when going to the supermarket. So some kind of documents. This was published 18th Nov.
It's not about opinion though, it's about skills and knowledge.When i am responsible for something then I should be the expert and not depend on another person's opinion.

It didn't help that the left hand and the right hand were barely on speaking terms either.Complacency also contributed to 9/11, but that was it.
Couldn't agree more with your final comment
The personal relationship - or lack of it - between O'Neil and Scheuer was certainly a major factor. There was also the misunderstanding on the part of the CIA about 'the Wall' whereby they thought it was illegal to pass information on to the FBI.It didn't help that the left hand and the right hand were barely on speaking terms either.

But you're not an expert on Covid so should rely on information and advice given from those who are experts. This is not about "another person's opinion" but the scientific consensus. You are ultimately responsible to make decisions about what actions to take (if any) but surely having expert information and advice is the best basis on which to make decisions. That's what Arnie is endorsing.@jurassicmark i was talking about the link on Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Most things can be explained by incompetancy rather than conspiracyYep, had the CIA and FBI co-operated it likely would never have happened.
Yeah he's changed his name to Take The Red Pill nowtoday i learned about "Let's go Brandon". There's a conspiracy theory that they said something different - despite all evidence on Live TV broadcast.
