Another case where Google results are, uh, "curated"

Yandex:


DuckDuckGo:


Google:

What happens if you specifically search Google for "conspiracy theory" results? Well, what do you think?

That fourth result made me smile: Claimed by Jesus Christ the True God and Eternal Life, discredited by medical experts!

I have no idea how credible these "conspiracy theories" are. Do you trust random Internet people of unknown credibility, or known-to-be-dishonest "fact-checkers" and "experts"? Anyway, should you wish to play it safe -- not that I am advocating this, mind you! -- I note (for reference purposes only) that the test still "works" if you just blow your nose and wipe the swab on the tissue. It worked for "a friend," anyway.

Enough scare quotes for ya?
