I know a woman who is absolutely sure there are half-lizard/half-human “people”(?) living in the sewers of New York, which she knows about from a secret news group. Some theories are absolutely BS and crazy. She’s even a nurse, so understands DNA, etc, and this also contradicts her very deeply held religious beliefs. _Something_ is going on to get people like her to believe things like this.

Yeah agreed, so many of these people are mentally ill. But also, so many conspiracies in my country have been exposed and proven correct. I think the mentally ill folks are used to discredit the "hey these powerful people have colluded and lied to the public's detriment" people
