11 Unbelievable Conspiracy Theories That Were Actually True
That's tricky, because "conspiracy theory" implies a level of deception that makes falsifiability of anything difficult. Like, if somebody starts chatting me up on the street and I wonder if I'm going to get scammed or jumped, that's a theory about a conspiracy, but it's not a conspiracy theory because it only involves a few people and I still can be sure what's up and what's down.
Epstein being murdered gets called a conspiracy theory, but if a couple of guards, a warden and a single wealthy instigator were the only participants, and they were really sloppy covering it up, is that really so implausible?
I think you are overthinking it.
Could have been anything:
parents lying about santa, maybe
moon landing, nasa
Anything is good, hahahah

That Covid was made.
I dont really think its true, but the richest get richer with every catastrophe, people actually believe "everything just gets more expensive" (which is absolute bullshit and rich people just use it to make more profits). Also, genetically modifying some viruses should be totally possible today.
This, I could believe. As an escaped bioweapons project (less likely), or as a flu vaccine research project gone wrong (most likely). I don't believe it, per se - it doesn't satisfy Occam's Razor - but it's within the realm of not-so-insane.
