Vaccines are a perfect example of the damage conspiracy theories can cause. Same with fluorine in drinking water.
Tim McVeigh killed over a hundred children because of a conspiracy theory, and the "Sovereign Citizen" movement has inspired criminal activity and multiple murders over the last 10 years here in the US.
Not all conspiracy theories are dangerous, but some definitely are.
Like 9/11 truthers? That dangerous lot.
Vaccinations? Meh. My son is vaccinated so I don't really have a dog in that fight. But courts in other countries are allowing cases to come through. Not here. We just pay hush money.
I doubt you know much about sovereign citizens. The vast majority of them are peaceful and yes, law abiding. Nevertheless you're still painting CT's with that broad brush.
