This is absolutely not true.I don't believe in ANY conspiracies.
Scientists and other people can be wrong about many things and many of them can jump on the bandwagon of many misguided
causes without any "conpiracy" involved whatsoever.
Many people and many movements have been wrong about lots of things without any conspiracies involved.
Was the advance of communism of the 20th century around the world the result of a conspiracy? No. They were just wrong.
Was the the preponderance of support for communinsim from "progressive" people in the US in the early 20th century the
result of a conspiracy? No. They were also just wrong.
The the rise of the Third Reich the result of a conspiracy? No. They were just wrong.
Was the nrearly worldwide ban of DDT by the left which led to 50 million uneccesary deaths in Africa due to malaria the
result of a conspiracy? No. They were just wrong. They were painfully and ignorantly wrong despite decades of data that conclusively
proved that they were completely and totally wrong, they insisted in their belief that DDT must be banned around the world.
Was the belief of Paul Erhrlich's in the 1960s as well as the millions of leftists who believed him that tens of millions of people
in the US would starve by the year 2000 the result of a conspiracy? No. They were just wrong.
Leftists have been wong on many, many, MANY things over the years. It could be suggested that they are very slow learners,
but again, this does not require any conspiraciy theories to explain.
The idea of a "conpiracy theory" is generally a rhetorial weapon or a slur that is thrown at conservatives by someone on the left
in order to portray them as fanatical and out of touch with reality.
I am not falling for that. I see this for the sneaky trick that it is. Nice try.
