I think it existed before Trump, but he's so far over the top with it, and gets publicity when he does it, that he makes it worse.

A lot of it will depend on how the question is asked, followed by any particular basis for the question and whether at first glance it seems to be coming from an angle that's going to then lead into some other perhaps not so genuinely innocent angle.
Certainly there's a fair few things that can be placed in the middle of deliberate or accidental, cover-up versus correction, pinpointing blame, denials, leaks, official secrets, commercial secrets, disagreements on which things get emphasised over others etc.
Unfortunately since some places get trolled harder than others, reactions from participants will be on that basis first, before looking at giving someone the benefit of the doubt even if that does come later.
Bro fell for a deez nuts joke 
Also notice the vape in his hand lol. So terrified to take a vaccine that he’s willing to spend his day stood in the street and spreading fake news about it, yet happy to get periodontitis from inhaling lungfuls vapor filled with one of the most addictive chemicals known to man

Definitely not a joke unfortunately. My family are anti-vax (ALL vax not just Covid) and refer to themselves as pure bloods.Nahhhh I actually thought that the whole ‘pureblood’ thing was a joke until I saw these

My mum BEGGED me not to get the Covid jab while I was “of childbearing age” because she believed it would cause infertility, a higher percentage of stillborn risk, miscarriages, birth defects, etc. I made my own decision and ended up getting it. 9 months later I had a healthy full term baby, and all the females in my family who got vaccinated have also since gone on to have healthy full term babies. So her scaremongering was for nothing.
I actually don’t even want to think about what she would have had to say if anything DID go wrong though.
Pretty gross to hear them talk even to this day though about people who got vaccinated, and to know they’re talking about their own daughter
I could tell plenty of similar stories. It’s so embarrassing to be a part of this family sometimes.
This CT is violently American. 🫠
And the plane catching up to an airport thing is a new one for me.

Hahaha I know how it read but no, I actually found out I was pregnant just before getting the jabOMG so the vaccine made you pregnant, that's quite a side effect
Sorry to hear that; it sounds terrible. I had my covid vaccines, but I would never have tried to convince family or friends to either get the vaccines or not to. I've always said it should be down to personal choice.Definitely not a joke unfortunately. My family are anti-vax (ALL vax not just Covid) and refer to themselves as pure bloods.

I don't know your mum, but I imagine if you'd begged her to get the vaccines, she'd have told you an emphatic no, so I don't see why she then thinks it's OK to push her views on you.

Clearly no one told this person brevity is important.
I like how they think someone's actually going to read all that. Even if they had the eyesight to do it, I'd be worried they'd cause an accident if they tried!
I asked her to get a whooping cough vaccine for my children and you’d almost think I asked her to chop 10 years off her life.
The extreme views and opinions of people who are deep in the conspiracy theory hole is hard to live with. They are VERY selfish and small minded people.
A girl I went to school with posted this on her insta story just now, apparently she is a part of the team currently working on this project. The aim is to try and collect information about scientists & doctors views on vaccination (other similar studies suggest 90-99% of doctors believe that covid vaccines are safe and effective, no surprise obv) and to then use this information to promote vaccine campaigns and influence public policy. Apparently early research has already shown that even just letting people know that doctors are backing the vaccines leads to increased vaccine uptake. It is interesting as a lot of antivaxers seem convinced that healthcare professionals are antivax (which is obv not true) and I often see them saying stuff like “loads of healthcare professionals don’t agree with the vaccines, all of the doctors at my local hospital say they’d never take it.
It’s definitely good to see that there’s actual research going on at the moment to try and find effective ways to reduce the spread of misinformation and combat myths about vaccines!

Can giant surveys of scientists fight misinformation on COVID, climate change and more?
Shocked by the COVID-19 infodemic, several efforts have launched to gather researchers’ consensus views, with the hope of improving public debate and policymaking.

When the Covid vaccine first came out apparently a lot of doctors and nurses lost their jobs because it became mandatory. I have no doubt that a lot probably did, but we definitely didn’t lose any doctors in our small town like it was rumoured and the hospital is still operating at its usual capacity of healthcare workers. Same with aged care
I reckon these CT’s hear of ONE person who has opted out and like Chinese whispers the story gets more and more elaborate. They never have facts to back it up of course.

It's either as you say - ie lots of doctors won't take it and think it's dangerous. Or, when they're told about doctors who recommend the vaccines, they'll just say that most doctors are no good these days and just prescribe drugs willy nilly to get money from big pharma.
Yeah, I understood the hesitancy 3 years ago when the vaccine was first introduced, however it’s now 2023, billions of vaccine doses have been administered and it has been proven to be safe and effective. So if you’re still out here claiming it isn’t then you shouldn’t be operating as a healthcare professional imo.When the Covid vaccine first came out apparently a lot of doctors and nurses lost their jobs because it became mandatory.

I think this technique is more for stopping the average ‘normal’ person from falling for CV misinformation though, as in those who still have a relatively high level of trust in healthcare professionals and scientists, but may be hesitant to take a vaccine because of some fake news they’ve seen on social media.They twist it both ways, though.

It won’t work on hard core antivaxers who have made believing in CTs their entire personality, they’re too far gone lmao.
Problem now is every "premature death" (I would argue may celebrities die younger anyway, just look at 2016!) is struck with accusations that this is the great reset they talked about and everyone who got the jab is dropping dead. Obviously, while there is an increase in excess deaths, there is no proof it is the vaccine. In fact, two years on, it's unlikely to be, given that covid casss swept the world at the end of last year and early half of this year and most people have now had an infection. We know covid is a multi faceted disease with impact on many organs, and the circulatory system and the heart is particularly affected. Long covid is way more of an issue than vaccine deaths.
I mean, they even said it about the Queen - she was 96, and Paul O'Grady, who had numerous health issues.

This is what these sort of people did before the internet was a thing!
Oh no another one of those fact checking things about proving something is fake!

Though as a confession, when I first saw the picture I didn't actually recognise it as the pentagon, it's been so long since I last saw the building I had forgotten it had such a fancy front so my first reaction when I saw the alleged explosion pic was "'eh? That's not the pentagon" so from my own POV the fake was an immediate fail but for entirely the wrong reason...
Fake Pentagon explosion photo goes viral: How to spot an AI image
A picture claiming to show an explosion near the Pentagon raises concerns about AI’s ability to produce misinformation.

Some of them are done for humour, whereas others are intended to be deceptive. Personally speaking, I treat most things on the internet with a healthy dose of scepticism which I learnt to do not that long after I first started using it many years ago.
That's the thing I've never understood; many conspiracy theorists will say things like "the masses blindly believe anything MSM tells them
" and while that's true for some people, I know plenty of people like me who don't believe in the majority of CTs, but also cast a critical eye over claims made by media outlets. Whereas they often seem to think they're the only ones who 'question' things.
One of my relatives has just been diagnosed with a rare, chronic neurological condition which is pretty serious, though luckily not life-threatening at this stage. Very worrying all the same . This is one of my relations who was vehemently against the covid-jab, thought covid was a hoax and a government plot and is deeply into many CTs. Despite our differing views this is someone I love very much and we are close, even if it's been hard on both sides navigating this disparity of opinions.
After hearing the news of their illness I actually thought to myself, thank goodness they didnt have the covid vaccines, or else there's a chance they might blame this rare, unpleasant illness on the jabs (it's quite likely they'd go along with this line of thinking because they already believe it of other people
) I'm fully aware the vaccine has had adverse events, in rare cases serious ones. But it is maddening how certain quarters have for months/years? now been jumping to conclusions about mass vaccine injuries and deaths. What's happened with my relative shows, anecdotally, that this health tit happens all the time. Tens of millions of people in the UK had multiple covid vaccines and yes, some of them had strokes, heart attacks, cancer diagnoses or even died in the days, weeks or months following - but that doesn't imply causality!! Not when the rollout was on such a huge population scale and adverse events so proportionately few.
Btw it took me a while to realise (been away a couple of times lately) that the vaccine thread is perm locked and CT thread 'relocated'. Thought it was quieter on my notifications! Don't want to derail here but it shows, sadly, how ultimately self-destructive, as proved, that whole aggressive quote-posting out of context was - horrible sm etiquette.
