But who defines if it is a conspiracy theory or just a theory? That is kinda my point in all of this.

The CIA has been embedded in "news media" since the early 60's. Pretty sure some 3 letter acronym is still running their games within mainstream media.

I agree generally, but definition is one thing; interpretation/understanding is another. Temper that with lobbyists, spin-specialists, marketeers and people in authority with access to an audience(s). Media moguls are focused on money (ROI), facts are secondary. Or as has been attributed to the National Enquirer --"It could have happened this way".

It always seems to me that the harder one side tries to squash an opposing theory, the more credence I should give to the opposing theory. Rather than looking for more proof or more convincing proof, they just do their best to cancel any who disagree with the "correct" opinion.

Or even:

My point exactly.
I bet the media puts computer chips in the covid vaccine, then controls your mind, then makes you confused so you don't understand the news.

That would be the obvious reason;) How clever you are to see it. But, I'm pretty sure if you said that out loud to anyone you would be cancelled quickly and firmly.

Who would be on this cancelling body, and what does cancelling entail?

Democrats.

They don't consider it cancelling though, just normal to suppress those who's views are "wrong".

Nearly right. Instead, the media uses computer chips in your computer to disseminate fake news, but fails to control Republican minds. They only get confused because of the nonsense the media disseminates when compared to the facts. Look at the Russia collusion hoax that caught gullible Democrats hook, line and sinker, a corruption that was blatantly obvious to Republicans.

This reminds me a bit of an argument about the incredible unlikeliness of the Universe existing, because you had to have the physics set up in a certain way to maintain any kind of equilibrium

My usual response to this is simple: The universe exists. We are in it. But the universe was not fine-tuned for us. It came first. WE came second and WE are what evolved to exist in the only universe we had. The "fine-tuned universe" argument is actually just Man's over-active ego speaking.

You mean like the one that says we are powerful enough to control the climate if we will only stop emitting greenhouse gasses:) All the US has to do is revert to around 1600 AD and that solves the entire problem because the US is the proximate cause of climate change. The rest of the world can continue on in the modern era using all the fossil fuels they want.

Pat, that was a non-sequitur to the previous comments.

It's obvious that covid came , one way or another, from the general study that was being done on covid, which most certain, gp2l, has not been being done the whole of human history.
The mental hoops people are trying to jump to to debunk that is silliness.

Once again we the Chinese sabotaged us with subterfuge and knock offs!

At this point, does it matter where it came from, because no one will ever really know its origin.

Ask the US government, they just officially created one recently - then disbanded it after much pushback. Google it :)
