The Growth of Conspiracy Theorists and Science Deniers: A Closer Look

The increasing numbers of conspiracy theorists and science deniers are concerning. This phenomenon is not merely the result of individuals with low IQs seeking idle entertainment. Rather, it is a more complex interplay of narrative control and mistrust in established science.

From Trust in Science to Skepticism

Science used to be about empirical evidence and rigorous experimentation. However, it has increasingly become about a specific narrative, especially in the context of certain scientific theories. This can be seen in the example of the Michelson-Morley experiment, which initially suggested the possibility of no aether or no Earth velocity. The choice to maintain the prevailing narrative of the Earth's motion has led to significant disinformation.

During the Coronavirus Pandemic (Covid-19), the handling of the situation reinforced the distrust many had in science. Promoting the narrative to shut up and trust the medical community stifled dissent and censored those who spoke out against the prevailing views. For example, public health measures like hand sanitizer usage and mandatory masking conflicting with the advice of health experts. These actions further eroded trust in the scientific community.

Examples of Widespread Skepticism

The Plandemic and how it was managed highlighted the lack of trust in the scientific community. The medical community was not always in agreement, and those who spoke out were censored, reinforcing the idea that questioning the narrative could lead to adverse consequences. For instance, fecundity of beneficial bacteria was dismissed, leading to the overuse of sanitizers, which in turn destroyed the natural balance of good bacteria in the body.

The notion that wearing masks could be harmful due to reduced oxygen levels and inhalation of byproducts is another example of science denial. This belief is supported by the fact that people who promoted these ideas were not punished, but rather allowed to spread misinformation freely.

Promoting False Narratives for Propaganda

Political leaders, such as Governor Grosome in California, have used fear to force people to comply with certain actions, such as getting vaccinated. This is not true leadership. Instead, it is a pawn in a larger narrative. The understanding that unvaccinated individuals are restricted from accessing public spaces may seem like a return to communism, but this narrative is misleading.

The claim that the vaccinated population experienced a significant increase in booster shots for a dead virus is another point of contention. While the medical community suggests that the virus has been neutralized, others argue that the uptick in boosters is indicative of backyard science rather than effective, independently validated research.

Corporate Interests and Vaccine Development

The idea that independent scientists are not involved in vaccine development, but rather large corporations, is also pervasive. For example, a Pfizer employee spoke about additional vaccine strands to increase revenue. This suggests that the interests of commercial enterprises play a significant role in vaccine development and distribution.

Conclusion

The proliferation of conspiracy theorists and science deniers is a multifaceted issue. It is not just a lack of scientific knowledge but a deeper skepticism of the prevailing narratives that shape our understanding of the world. Addressing this issue requires a better understanding of the narratives that influence public opinion and a renewed commitment to transparent, evidence-based science communication.
