      Well, if everybody in the mainstream media tells you that water is wet, 2+2 is 4, vaccines prevent diseases and you shouldn’t eat the silica gel packets that come with products, that’s obviously a coordinated conspiracy to hide some important truth, and calling them on it just reveals you to be a freethinker, unlike all the sheeple who go along with it.
