Thought I'd make a "master list" of conspiracies I've read about to track them and see how they evolve over time. I'll try to format them to group them and make them easier to read.
=============
Plandemic: the idea that the COVID pandemic was planned to accomplish some goal.
-Fauci evil: Anthony Fauci engineered the pandemic.
-Bill Gates 5G trackers: Bill Gates created the vaccine (which doesn't work) to be able to implant microscopic 5G trackers in people's bodies.
-There was no pandemic: the pandemic was made up, and any reports of death were 1) fake 2) really caused by ventilators or antivirals or 3) really caused by the COVID vaccine.
-Suppression of Ivermectin the miracle drug: claim that Ivermectin, a common dewormer, can cure COVID, cancer, autism and a host of other diseases, but that Anthony Fauci (or other evil actors) are suppressing it.
Anti-vax: idea that vaccines are actually dangerous; they do not prevent disease but instead cause sicknesses including autism, cancer, blood clots and arthritis.
-"No such thing as a virus": more recent theory that all viral diseases are actually poisonings by vaccines, and that viruses have actually never been detected or observed. According to this theory, disease is just "your body detoxing."
-"No such thing as a germ": this is an extension of the above conspiracy theory, that bacteria and prions do not exist either.
Chemtrails: the idea that airliners are spraying chemicals like barium into the air for nefarious purposes, usually to sicken people.
Flat Earthers: The Earth is flat, not spherical, and covered by a dome that also holds the Sun and Moon.
-"Space isn't real": there have been no space missions because the Earth is flat, and thus orbits (or "leaving the dome") is impossible.
-Apollo hoaxers: The Apollo Moon missions were faked, like the movie Capricorn One.
Climate change deniers: this is a large category, all of which deny the existence or effects of climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
-"Climate isn't warming": this conspiracy theory claims that the temperature data is faked, or is due to "heat islands," or since it got colder in Ding Dong, TX that's all that matters.
-"Climate is warming but we didn't do it": claims that all the warming is natural.
-"Maybe we did it but all warming is good": claims that since people are cold in winter warming will be good. Also that CO2 is an "amazing aerial fertilizer" that will green the planet and save untold lives.
Creationism: the idea that God did everything, and natural physical/biological processes did not shape the Earth or life.
-Young Earth Creationism (YEC): a literal interpretation of Genesis. The Earth and all life were created by God in six 24-hour days, approximately 6,000 to 10,000 years ago.
-Old Earth Creationism (OEC): Accepts the actual age of the Earth but believes in direct divine creation of life.
--Gap Creationism: There was a long time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, thus allowing a long geologic history
--Day-age creationism - every day in Genesis was actually a long time
-Progressive Creationism: Earth is old but God created life periodically over time (i.e. new species.)
-Intelligent Design (ID): Earth is old and life evolved but God directed it and added information
-Theistic Evolution: This is very close to the current scientific explanation of how life evolved, but claims that God set it all in motion billions of years ago.
9/11 Truthers: 9/11 was a controlled demolition pulled off by the government.
Reptilian overlords: This conspiracy, started by David Icke, claims shapeshifting reptilian aliens control Earth by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate human societies.
Trump won in 2020: claim that a vast conspiracy changed votes to allow Biden to win
Secret Hillary Clinton child sex-and-sacrifice ring under Comet Pizza in Washington DC: self explanatory
