Thank you. "Our side" is unfortunately prove to falling for what really are unfounded conspiracy theories. However the answer is just what you've done here, inject reality into the conversation, not censorship.

Yes but an awful lot of conspiracy theories have, or are, coming true over these last 2+ years. I’m not necessarily making that case in this circumstance, but could any of us imagined, circa 2019, what we have been subjected to physically/mentally/emotionally since? Much of which @ the time was suppressed, deplatformed, derided as conspiracy theory, right wing extremism, etc.
Yes, that was something I was going to add in my comment. It's not surprising that weird theories make their way in given all the strange things that have actually happened. Nothing wrong with evaluating them, either - only the anti-science crowd believes in shutting down contrary ideas. We just have to keep our critical thinking faculties well-honed and evaluate all evidence pro and con before deciding on whether something is likely true.
