What's a low stakes conspiracy theory you believe? (hexbear.net)

We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

I lived next to fort detrick all my life, and dated a girl who worked at AMRIID. Pre-covid, my mom, who literally never took time off of work when she was sick, was extremely sick with retrospectively what would have been covid symptoms, and it was really bad. My friend's dad died of aids from a lab accident, and there is generally a cancer cluster there so I don't feel like it's crazy. Also, the anthrax guy, Bruce Ivins, was completely innocent. We had some family ties and he would never do what they claimed.

I think a lot of conspiracy minded folks agree that Bruce probably didn't do it and was a patsy for someone else.
