Sheeple Awake!
Just found out something from a link in that Vice article about 5G above, that 5G equipment was trialled at Glastonbury last year. (see middle part of the article I've linked to there).
Most festival folk would just be glad that they had fast reception/connections, I'm a rare weirdo there who doesn't take (or even own) a smartphone.
But smartphone-dependence is more generally huge among most at Glastonbury!
Still, you can bet your life there'd have been a few Glasto-going conspiraloons who'd have started yibbling bonkersly and Icke-ishly about the 'evils of 5G!!!1!!!1!' had they known tests were going on at the fest .....
Stopped going once they built the wall and it became a BBC theme park. Not surprised at all by all this.
Yes, that's exactly what it's like at Glastonbury Fest these days!
Absolutely indistinguishable!!
Top tip : What you see on the BBC
is only a fraction of everything else that (still ) happens on site 
Plenty of people from "the old days" still go ........

If they're still checking in with actual doctors and hospitals in order to cure what ails them, then surely they must know, even if only semi- or subconsciously, that their bullshit doesn't really work.
Although I think the same could be said of a lot of people who buy those kind of services. Notice how there isn't a an overwhelming demand for Reiki masters to treat coronary heart disease, or Acupuncturists to treat cancer. It's almost always used to treat the kind of non-specific complaints that can easily be "treated" with a placebo, i.e. sugar pills (which is what most homeopathic medication is, as it happens). Even the people who do try to treat serious illnesses like cancer using alternative methods suffer a staggering 250% greater chance of succumbing to the disease.
I think the "it cures cancer!!!11!!" types are a small group of true believers, while the majority of people who buy into alt-med rubbish are vaguely aware of the limitations, but don't follow the reasoning to its conclusion, for various reasons.

There's a gradient...it starts with things like "it can't do any harm", or appeals to "traditional" authority, creeps through "I'm sure this echinacea stops me getting colds", and sometimes ends up in the growing belief that allopathic medicine is all wrong, and the only way is woo.

Why does autism (and in this case also ADHD) crop up so often for conspiraloons?
If it’s not the antivaxxers talking about mercury poisoning, it’s some other cunt banging on that Greta Thunberg being an agent (willing or otherwise) of the deep state

It's attractive to anti-vaxers and it isn't hard for the sort of people that believe that to make the leap to 5g causing Autism too.

Sure, but what’s the attraction?

Just availability bias, I reckon. It already crops up in conspiracy theories, so comes easily to mind.

I wonder if it’s popularity in the states is linked to 1) the hyper medicalising mindset there, 2) the absence of social care and subsequent pressure on families, 3) the stigma towards neurodevelopmental conditions in the states

Is there especially a stigma in the States compared with anywhere else?

seems to be more acceptable within the culture to denigrate based on neurodevelopment. I’ve got nothing beyond anecdote though

They do seem to generally have more comedies that do quite a lot of "punching down".

is a huge part of it. 
-- as I'm sure you know.Struck off and hugely discredited in the UK**, but widely followed by anti-vaccination twats/consiraloons where he now lives (the US).
**I'm sure he still has a fair bit of following here as well
, but not nearly so much as he once did, 15 to 20 years ago.ETA in the morning to correct 'anti-vaxxers'
to the correct term : 'anti-vaccination twats' < at self >
