What has happened to CD? It has become a den of conspiracy theorists. Why is this place drawing them out of the woodwork?

Because other social media sites are more aggressive in shutting down misinformation. P and C subforum always had its share of paranoid conspiracy people.

Some people actually question the world around them, especially something as big and disruptive as a pandemic.

Many people don't just follow what the "experts" on TV tell them and happily live like herded sheep.

I'm sorry if that bothers you.

What is so wrong about throwing out ideas ? Sure some are "out there" but why not throw everything on the table and then eliminate based on discussions and posted links ?

Are people afraid to play "what if...." ?

"misinformation."

The most dangerous word in the English language today, and a favorite of liberals nowadays. If only I had a nickel for every time a liberal has said that in the past year.

Maybe C-D just simply believes in open discourse and doesn't believe themselves to be the almighty "arbiters of truth?"

Maybe?

Asking questions is fine. However, postulating or passing innuendos based on ignorance is different. And by ignorance - I don't mean that in a offensive way. We are all ignorant of areas we don't work/study in.

Asking the question - "How can vaccine makers have certain patents related to Covid-19 BEFORE the pandemic started?" is different than "OMG, the vaccine maker created the pandemic in order to sell their vaccine. Look at these patents!!".

As other's have already alluded to - those patents were USED in bringing the covid-19 vaccine to the world. But it isn't the only purpose.

This is like people saying the Pentagon explosion during 9/11 couldn't be an airplane because of the small hole it made or the explosion didn't look like a plane impact. Of course.... the only experience these people have with impact craters and explosions is the TV/Movie screen....

I took about an 8 month hiatus from the crazinesss of POC (recently returning) and I was shocked by how many new people there are here now since it's not an election year. Given what you've posted, that makes sense.

MissTerri, I don't know about others, but that link just takes me to a page with several videos.
