It seems no matter what happens in this World we live in, there will always be conspiracy theories surrounding the event. Examples of these include Covid19, Vaccinations, Wireless technology, Pharmaceuticals etc. Many of these theories are spread by individuals who do not appear to be the full shilling or have underlying conditions that seem to cause them to rant and rave about what they believe in even when proved beyond all reasonable doubt to be on the wrong side of the facts.

Conspiracy theorists try in vain to prove their belief to be true by pulling text from genuine research pieces and using them out of context. Some attempt to bend or mold information to align to their own narrative. Some simply share articles and posts with absolutely no backing or merit.

Many of the most well known conspiracy theorists appear to be desperately clutching onto a former life or profession. Some examples include Judy Mikovits and Andrew Wakefield who are former researchers who have been discredited, disgraced, and struck off. It seems the message hasn’t landed with them yet that they are no longer relevant. Other examples include former journalists Gemma O’Doherty and John Waters who for a long time have seemed unable to verbalise a single coherent and factual piece of information. We should not forget about former musician Jim Corr and the downright insane ramblings of Katie Hopkins. There are too many to name them all. One thing is certain, these individuals need treatment and not a presence on social media platforms. It is not censorship to silence the non-sensible ramblings of these individuals. It is simply common sense.
