I was just trying to point out the typo in your url. 
I actually love going down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. I haven’t found a credible Covid conspiracy theory. Most of the time I start to do fact checks and a large number of the basic facts don’t check out and a lot of them, don’t even bother to tie together logically.

A credible Covid Conspiracy theory.
I did not even make it to the 3 minute mark! After the bit about the metals in vaccines making us into antennas for 5G, I had to stop. Maybe a tinfoil hat will shield me from the cell signals 
You can never be too careful when it comes to this scary science stuff, right?

I’m just a simple soul all my life i have ignored or turned off too conspiracy Theories , now too many things are all starting to make sense, i think also a lot of people that come onto this site working towards the day the shit hits the fan scenario /dooms day preppars have also been laughed at and mocked by people like myself .

Bear in mind Dave that Big Brother is only interested in your welfare and only wishes to maintain maximum control over you for your own benefit.
Don’t know crap about 5G but I do know that the human body is an electro-magnetic machine which reacts in different ways to different frequencies and this woman didn’t fabricate the information about the inject-able nano-bots. Of course those are being developed to radically improve your health care.
Hi Tom , i have a interview from tv with our state premiere , and he ADMITS that because the rest of the world will be doing this , then we Victorians will also be expected to be vaccinate in order for them to keep informed of our movements and health at all times ! That was NOT tin foil hat talk that was a bloody state prime minister saying that to the media .
BTW i have a 5G Mobile internet modem , i have no idea if its good or bad i just had it because i wanted superfast broadband on the move , and lets face it the signals are all around us anyway whether we use them or not we have no say .

I am all for you guys carrying out the big LARP that these conspiracy theories are; it sounds sort of fun to me too. Can I be a level 10 boogaloo boy? My equipment includes a shotgun and a hawaiin shirt that does +3 to my Strength stat! Dont get too lost in it, though. Here is a good link on the source material that is being used in this particular role-play:
The nano-bot thing is based on a real line of research, but it is just an idea to make it easier to track vaccinations in countries without the resources to keep good medical records. I am not sure it has actually been developed, and if it was, it would be needless in the extreme in this country.
All joking aside, I do think you are right to be worried about being tracked, but most people willingly sign up for it by using their real names on the internet, and using “free” social media. If you are not paying money for something online, you are part of the product! Your info is worth money to somebody, but their motives are hardly that sinister. They just want to know everything about you so their actual customers can sell you more garbage you dont need.

If you are not able to verify information TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of internet sources–don’t put your confidence in it. For less than the cost of monthly internet access you can have your own website and promote any truth or lie you wish—many do. The internet is a very unreliable source.

Yeah, I agree that there is a lot of dubious information out there - and that is has become easier to publish fake news. The news landscape is changing faster than people are able to adapt to- I think a lot of people are not able to keep up with it. However, I disagree that the distinction should be offline vs online. I would trust that the online content in the New York Times is better journalism than the garbage they print in the tabloid rags you see at the checkout counter at the grocery store, for example.
I dont think we need to get all solipsistic; or paranoid that everyone is lying to us. But knowing the reputation and the biases of the outlets we read is the key. I will be the first to admit that everything is biased in one way or another. It is just a reflection of the fact that the world is complicated, and journalists are people too.

Carl, I think you are very correct. Knowing the source of information is most important, regardless of the medium used to convey it. Unfortunately, so many will believe it if they see it, or if it fits their way of thinking or their suspicions and they become vulnerable to the products of people’s imaginations.

Being in the media business, sometimes with fear and loathing, and trepidation, I will say this without any reservation. The Whole World has changed. News sources you trusted even a decade ago are no longer trustworthy. To protect yourself and your family, I urge everyone to visit many news sources, even the ones “on the other side”. Truth can be found. You will have to dig it out yourself, you can not be lazy about this. Many things being said by the media, and others with their own agenda, are so much horse manure, and much less useful. We are all being played for fools. Don’t be a fool. Veritas!
Jesus, I trust in You.

Actually I have been watching DW News out of Germany lately. It is the English news service in Germany and I find they know more about what is going on in Europe than the American news for some reason.

I went and read the study summary: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.11.20229708v1
The authors concluded the following:
“Covid-19 associated mortality rates were 0.2 per 100,000 (95%CI 0.1 to 0.4) in Norway and 2.9 (95%CI 1.9 to 3.9) in Sweden.”
The baseline mortality rate was something like 15-18 per 100k in the years preceding the pandemic. So Norway saw about a 1% increase due to covid, while Sweden saw an increase of nearly 17%. This is a good example of how sound public health decisions that follow the science can save lives, right? Seems likely that if Sweden had also implemented safety measures, many lives would have been saved.
And the study on the use of surgical masks (that we should all know now do not really filter incoming air) showed inconclusive results. It says
“1.8 per cent of those wearing masks caught Covid, compared to 2.1 per cent of the control group.”
These masks are designed for protecting others, so it is not shocking that they do not offer much protection to the wearer. Also, the researchers point out:
“Some people, of course, did not wear their masks properly. Only 46 per cent of those wearing masks in the trial said they had completely adhered to the rules. But even if you only look at people who wore masks ‘exactly as instructed’, this did not make any difference to the results: 2 per cent of this group were also infected.”
So yeah, you give a bunch of people masks that are not designed to protect them, less than half of the people even wear them correctly, and from this we are to conclude that all masks are a waste of time?
Do some more reading. There is a lot of information out there about the effectiveness of N-95s. They work, which is why they are in chronically short supply. Medical personnel do not wear the ones with valves, so if you can find those just put tape on the valve and you are now protected (while also protecting others). There is also lots of information about how to make a cloth mask that approaches the effectiveness of an N-95. Make a 3 layer mask out of a pillowcase and a flattened hepa filter out of cars cabin filter, a furnace filter, a vacuum cleaner bag or whatever. If it fits tight to your face you can get upwards of N-70 to N-90. Instead of griping about how worthless the worthless masks are, do something constructive so we can all get back to work.
