That the US Government killed MLK. I looked at the Wikipedia article (I'm saying my knowledge is not that in-depth, don't @ me), and the case in either direction is less than compelling to me. I'd say if the government didn't kill King, it would have been a matter of time.

That Covid was made.

I dont really think its true, but the richest get richer with every catastrophe, people actually believe "everything just gets more expensive" (which is absolute bullshit and rich people just use it to make more profits). Also, genetically modifying some viruses should be totally possible today.

This, I could believe. As an escaped bioweapons project (less likely), or as a flu vaccine research project gone wrong (most likely). I don't believe it, per se - it doesn't satisfy Occam's Razor - but it's within the realm of not-so-insane.
