Conspiracy theorists... are they all just a bit thick?

They do know, that those weather effects were in existence before planes were invented, right?

Evidently not, from what I’ve seen posted out there over the last few weeks.

‘They’ are living up to the thread title yet again.

Given that sheep sleep on average only 4 hours per day, they're technically more awake than we humans are, so I'm not sure entreating the sheeple to wake up makes a lot of sense. This may not be the only flaw in their reasoning.

The 'Sky rats' are a new one on me.

Been going on since WW2. Terrible business.

Yes, having to lay down chem trails as well as avoid anti aircraft fire and drop bombs on precise targets by eye sight alone. All that extra weight they were carrying as well which would have slowed them down and put them in danger. Such brave chem trail pilots, we salute you.

Chemtrails awareness month. Up there with cancer, global warming, deforestation.

I'm up for it, I pointed at the sky and nodded my head knowingly. Might have worked better outside, though.

And remember to press the ‘good chemtrails’ button over Blighty’ the ‘bad chemtrails’ button over the Hun and the ‘bit of both chemtrails’ button over occupied Europe. Never has so much been owed etc

To bring it back on topic as per the thread title.

Yes

[MattsCar]

So, from what I have seen from friends of friends on social media, the most informed and knowledgeable on the ways of this world, that I don't seem to know about, tend to have these traits.

1) Low end job/ unemployed, or jobs in an organisation where they haven't progressed in many years.

2) Cannabis/ Alcohol addiction.

3) Broken family life.

4) Lots of time on their hands.

5) Lots of Peaky Blinders/ The Joker quotes on their profile.

I guess this is the system working against them and they have been forced in to their place by the "system".

Unfortunately this couldn't be further from the truth. The two biggest CTs I know, one one's a large joinery company and the other is a commercial electrician who taught 6th form maths in his spare time.

Unfortunately being a conspiracy theorist isn't exclusively a workshy trait.

This is a graph from the ICNARC Jan22 report here. It shows - ICU patient admissions at just over half being unvaccinated and general hospital admissions being perhaps 10-15%.

The concerns and general messaging from the authorities however was that it was almost all unvaccinated clogging up hospitals full stop not just as per your above post that 'they made up the majority in ICU'. That messaging was clearly at odds with what the data was and had been showing for months.

Isaldiri,

As you well must know public health messaging is intended to give people a sense of reality in order to make good decisions.

You can certainly argue that saying it was ‘almost all unvaccinated clogging up hospitals/ ICU’ would be straying beyond a strictly correct description of those data.

But you can also quite legitimately say that it correctly gave a sense off the fact that vaccination significantly reduced the risk of ICU admission, which is what those graphs clearly show (and similar data exist for serious illness and death).

You’re a classic data wonk, more interested in the minutae than the message.
Public health messaging is inherently political, you might not like that fact, but it is a necessary part of the job. You would rather argue the detail even in the knowledge that such recherché ramblings will be used by CTs to feed their biases. The fact that you see your point as supporting your view while others see it as undermining it is case in point.

Whether that makes you a CT depends on your motivation and is purely speculation and hence pointless.

Let’s see how many I can put in my keep net today with this.

[MiniMan64]

How long before the CTers have some kind of nefarious explanation for last nights light show?

Seems like you spend too much time on social media jumping to the wrong conclusions.

People railing into the wind about what happened 3 years ago is just weird. We know the vax worked on a number of levels and without it the NHS would have collapsed, but some just can’t let go.

Probably because they just have to be ‘right’ about something, anything!

Similarly I know 3 conspiracy fruit loops. My aunt and uncle who have been very successful owning multiple businesses. The other works in IT and good at what he does and is paid well.
