Why do people believe this stuff??

Some of the conspiracy theories people post literally make me stop in my tracks. I am completely amazed that a supposedly educated and intelligent person would actually believe some of this stuff. Just a few... JFK is still alive ( He would be 106.) JFK Junior is still alive, he would be 62. They, along with Elvis and several others--oh, including Bigfoot--are all said to be cryogenically frozen in an underground bunker. Okaaaaayyy.... Many theorists think that man never walked on the moon. It was all a hoax. Personally, I don't think we were advanced enough back then to have pulled off a hoax that big. Oh, most Walmart stores are built on a tunnel so that they can use the tunnels for human trafficking, so it is widely believed. I don't like Walmart, but I can't see this happening. But this is the most ridiculous theory I have heard yet. ~~ tomorrow afternoon, there will be an emergency test for cell phones, conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This is just a test, in case we ever needed to be notified of a nationwide emergency. But OH MY have people gone crazy. I mean, REALLY crazy. There are people on my facebook feed, telling others to wrap their cellphones in a sheet of aluminum foil, as they think the vaccine had a microchip in it. Supposedly, if you have the vaccine, the signal will turn you in to a zombie. A ZOMBIE. I can't help it, I find it astonishing that people are falling for this. News flash--a microchip cannot fit through that tiny needle for the vaccine. ''One of the odder conspiracies mixes long-standing fears of 5G wireless technology with fears about the virus. According to the COVID 5G conspiracy, electromagnetic frequencies from cell phone towers undermine the immune system, making people sick with COVID, researchers reported in 2020 in the journal Media International Australia. Another conspiracy theory claims that the COVID-19 vaccines contain tracking chips that connect to 5G networks so that the government, or possibly billionaire and vaccine philanthropist Bill Gates, can surveille everyone's movements. As CNBC points out, 5G chips are too large to fit through a vaccine syringe, and even the smallest RFID chips that could fit require a power source that couldn't make the squeeze. '' aka, livescience.com People are also planning to shut off all electronics, and unplug them. I read of several people saying they were taking tomorrow off, or calling in sick for work. Do you believe these things? Do you know anyone who does? I think it runs thick in the midwest and the south in the US, but of course I do not have facts and figures to back that up.
