The conclusion is quite clear and provides half a dozen sources supporting it. The article also does a good job of describing exactly how they gain and retain traction on social media. I see social media as a much bigger problem where conspiracy theories are concerned than traditional media.

Providing examples of the nonsense people believe and their reasoning behind it isn't implicit or explicit support of them, particularly in the context of this article. It's quite clear on the fact that the theories are nonsense.
