Poll: Almost half of Republicans believe Bill Gates is plotting to microchip billions of people

According to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll, 44 percent of Republicans believe that Bill Gates is plotting to use a mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign as a pretext to implant microchips in billions of people and monitor their movements — a widely debunked conspiracy theory with no basis in fact.

the animals from all over the world.

They believe a guy was dead for 3 days before he floated up to a city of gold where he lives with all the good people in golden mansions forever.

They have been taught to accept weird shit as long as it furthers the story. The stuff trump sells is no more weird than what the Bible pushes.

They're been brainwashed and it clearly shows.

unlike now, where they can infect people that behave responsibly. Hopefully, the vaccine will also be useable by people who now can't get flu vaccines.
