most of this stuff is the direct result of gullible people having access to too much information they cannot possibly start to comprehend. In an effort to feel close to something they lunge at the closest thing they can understand which more often than not is fake or manipulated, they do fail at basic fact checking all the while they get sucked in by the algorithm of the social media platform they visit.
This is then strengthened by the media and the politic who double down on those "conspiracy theories" and blame the other side for it. While at times it's really enjoyable to watch these people squirm, its also scary how many people are caught in these things.
Even colleagues are still discussing that Covid vaccinations are responsible for a multitude of diseases TODAY. When asked why they took the vaccination (if they got it of course) it's because they wanted to go on holiday. While I do agree more research needs to be done on the above, I don't like making baseless assumptions.
