I think this could be a relevant section if you're up to writing it with appropriate sources per WP:V and WP:NOR Thickynugnug (talk) 22:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

New England Patriots
Does the section about the new england patriots really belong here haha

SARS-CoV-2 Origin
Why is the idea that SARS-CoV-2 was engineered in a lab a conspiracy theory?

Who’s facts decided that it wasn’t engineered in lab and to say so is a conspiracy theory?

No matter who made the decision that SARS-CoV-2 didn’t come from a lab, there is enough uncertainty about the viruses origins that neither the lab leak or wet market theory should be considered a conspiracy theory. WhowinsIwins (talk) 21:45, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * It's now accepted science that SARS-CoV-2 came from bats, owing to the genetic similarity between it and other viruses affecting bats which are already known to science. The actual transmission seems to have come by way of another mammalian species, such as the pangolin. Bats and (e.g.) pangolins don't associate in Nature, so anywhere such species might come into mutual contact (such as wet markets, or if not them then poorly regulated supermarkets) has to be the chief suspect. That this virus, which evolved to affect bats (and only bats) should also prove harmful to humans, is an example of the randomizing effect of genetic mutation.

QAnon black hole earthquake theory
QAnon conspiracy advocates are suggesting that a sudden increase in seismic activity notably the tristate earthquake and the more severe one in Taiwan were a result of harmonic tremor caused by a micro black hole orbiting just under the Earth's crust affecting the tectonic plates. Though this has not officially been debunked yet is is so ridiculous given what we know about black holes that it is almost certainly false. The argument given seems to be that the latitude of both quakes is nearly identical suggesting an East-West rotation of the MBH. Gravitational wave data would be an effective way to refute this, however it is not clear if LIGO or other detectors can sense such high frequency waves. note: this hypothesis was refuted not long after the article was published. 91.190.161.160 (talk) 18:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)


 * How is this a conspiracy theory? Slatersteven (talk) 19:44, 5 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I'd imagine scientists would be given the blame of concealing this from us, because of their well-established status with conspiracist circles as spreaders of lies. Probably this is why no obvious scapegoat is named in the original mention of the story.

Dorothy Kilgallen
Perhaps the death of journalist and media personality Dorothy Kilgallen should be included under the Deaths of Prominent People section. Some attribute her death to the idea that she was closing in on who was behind the murder of JFK. 76.230.211.64 (talk) 18:32, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Dorothy Kilgallen died from an accidental overdose of barbiturates. The few articles suspecting suicide which I have encountered are focused on her increasingly troubled marriage to Richard Kollmar. Dimadick (talk) 20:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Should Birds Aren't Real be added to the list?
Birds Aren't Real is a satirical conspiracy which is why I am not sure whether we should add it to the list. Sönke Joppien (talk) 19:49, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * no it should not. Slatersteven (talk) 20:01, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

In my theory, which I can't prove, and is thus a conspiracy theory, some birds (thrushes, robins, blackbirds) are genetically modified to pick up signals from low earth orbit. This causes them to "scream" and speak in syllables much to the torment of a human. It is a sad theory, which can't be verified. Conspiracy theories regarding the American Rangers that hunted Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan on horseback, are similar, ie. communication via satellites that somehow influence the atmospheric pressure in order to relay a low bandwidth message. In regards to the poor birds which seem to be tortured, they seem to be louder in urban centers where motor noise causes them to lose the message they are trying to relay. It's also possible, that the birds have figured out that some human listeners are "telepathic" and use their sound to repeat messages over great distances. This would require the birds to be telepathic themselves. Pissed off humans conduct viral warfare against these birds which is inhumane. We have a name for this. It's birdflu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:D2:5728:FB00:65B5:57BA:F0DE:8688 (talk) 08:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Conspiracy theories on the theme of Sustainability
There are a number of conspiracy theories relating to the idea that sustainable development is a pretext for oppression. Great Reset and 15 minute cities are mentioned in the article, though separately, and Agenda 21 is not. AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 11:10, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
