A medical conspiracy theory that Covid-19 pandemic deaths are greatly exaggerated and may not be reported accurately. Some may minimize the loss of life of the old and sick who had little life left to live . The same people may also note that it only a few percent are vulnerable and that it disproportionately impacts minorities.
While the concept of virus trutherism is held together by a minimal amount of evidence, the idea is held by a vocal group with a high amount of fire power.

When a political vendetta is focused on local leaders constituents because he won't support a major politician. E.g., jamming up traffic for 1000's of constituents. Many constituents may unwittingly end up focusing their anger on the local leader, who is helpless in such a situation. The vendetta is obvious to the local leader, however it is hard to prove. When he protests he is mocked and humiliated, and made to look like a paranoid, delusional conspiracy theorist or incompetent idiot. The wide publicity from the vendetta creates an exponential impact on other non-supporters of the major politician, so they get the message and jump in line so they do not end up being humiliated, or in political gridlock.
Since the real perpetrator always has plausible deniability he can claim to be blindsided, heartbroken, embarrassed, humiliated and betrayed by his zealots, and his stupid goons. The ability of the perpetrator to transform himself into the victim by playing to people's empathy, sympathy, and by using an army of spin doctors who can saturated the media with a new image is a true accomplishment. The perpetrator's success may end up further enhancing his ability to inspire fear in those who may not aspire to come to his rescue. This works best when a complete account of conspiracy theory cannot show a direct connection, such as by a paper trail, or by testimony from stupid aides and appointees.

When stuck in gridlock traffic for hours.
Faceless constituent One: I guess it was "Time for traffic problems in Fort Lee"
Faceless constituent Two: You "Got it," right.

A person that denies hoaxes, fake science based news, science fiction (even by the best writers who won the Pulitzer Prize), science fiction reported by commentators on Fox News, or Russian Scientists (especially during US elections).
Some people don't believe the War of the Worlds even happened. The science fiction deniers don't even believe it happened after reading the book or watching the movies, or when peer reviewed on the internet.

One this is for sure you cannot easily run from a gigafire. Your best bet is to find an area that has already burned and where the fuel is all burned up and go there.

When the Republicans in the US House shutdown part of the US Government, because the US Senate would not pass legislation to delay or eliminate all or parts of the Affordable Care Act. Extreme incompetence applied with extreme arrogance. Shutstorm 2013 is the theme of Jon Stewart's Daily show coverage of the crisis.
In 2010 the Tea Party Candidates ran on a platform of creating millions of jobs. On October 1, 2013 they created Shutstorm 2013 which eliminated over a million jobs, and are well on their way to creating the next depression, if Obama and the Senate does not eliminate the Affordable Care Act.
