As a species we love conspiracy theories, we always have. It may be that we feel out of control of our own destinies, and we think there must be a pattern in apparently random events that leads us to suspect something darker if we only dig deeper.
The "birthers" and the "deathers" and the "Bush orchestrated 9-11 like a Reichstag Fire", the "man-caused climate change is a ploy to enrich Al Gore" are modern day versions of the "Grassy Knoll gunman" and the "JBS New World Order" .
I can't swear there is no link between autism and vaccines. I can't swear that the government isn't poisoning us with flouride. I don't even know that we really landed on the Moon.
But I have no reason to doubt the established scientific opinions either.
