Calling an idea a "conspiracy theory" is an attempt to prevent discussion of certain ideas by implying that those who discuss them are to be publicly shamed and associated with crackpots, etc. It is a fundamental logical fallacy used by those who cannot defend their positions. Humans do in fact conspire, its a fundamental human behavior we've all witnessed and participated in. It's unfortunate that you cannot address the ideas and instead attempt to prevent discussing them.Don't treat a public health crisis as a conspiracy theory and expect people to believe you're capable of logic, reason, and rational debate. The two are incompatible.
Further, people seem to be incapable of considering more than one truth at the same time, and seem unable to entertain the idea that covid is a potentially dangerous virus to some people, but at the same time many are using it to advance other agendas. Both are obviously true.
