    The phone in your hands. Thank you, Captain Obvious. Granted google searches and general use can and will be used to direct advertisers towards interests; that seems logical not sinister.

    Ironically, the vaccine can be used to identify crazy people; anyone who actually believes that it’s part of a conspiracy needs to be locked up.

    I’ve heard that the newest thing is a tattoo that contains all the information previously needing something larger like a microchip.

    The credit card companies do a good job of tracking people, including what you bought, where you bought it, and at what time. Don’t forget all those security cameras.

    That’s not true. Microsoft phones are rare. Google, Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi are tracking us with the phones. Gates needs the vaccine to catch up with them. And I can’t say more because the CIA is tracking us on gocomics.com :D

    One question that none of the insane conspiracy whack-jobs ever seem to be able to answer is this: "Why in the name of he!! would Bill Gates even WANT to track millions of Americans using “microchips” in a vaccine?" Seriously… what’s the point???

    Some obviously B.S. conspiracy theories are thought up by idiots, and spread by other idiots.

    Given all the things we’ve lately learned are true, and not “conspiracy theories”, it seems at least a little plausible that the people engaged in skullduggery of various types might find it desirable to spread those idiot “theories”, and invent some of their own.

    We have no privacy any more. They can even tell when you plugged your phone into a charger, how long it stayed there, and when you unplugged it. Of course, this lack of privacy is a good thing when it’s used to convict criminals.

    Smart phones, credit cards, toll tags, vehicles with satellite radio and ability to unlock your doors or call for an ambulance after you crash…if you don’t want to be monitored don’t create a digital trail…buy a horse & mule, a long rifle, some provisions and head up into them there hills!

    Bill Gates thinks he’s a know it all. He bought many many acres of farm land, (?), he stuck his nose in the Common Core idea….a failure….he’s like s-it. He’s all over! He can shove his ideas where the sun don’t shine! Just because one has money doesn’t make one qualified to stick his nose where it doesn’t belong!

    Yes RAT, new BP meds may help but doesn’t fix the problems.

    Bill Gates was kicked out of India when his polio vaccines were giving children polio. I don’t think the man wants to track us, but I wouldn’t have anything developed that fast injected into me.

    The notion that there’s microchips in a vaccine is ludicrous. It just wouldn’t work, and as Rat notes, the “smartphones” that people have implanted in their life are vastly more effective at tracking people.

    Myself, I refuse to have a so-called “smartphone” for that very reason, and when it comes to vaccines, I always take care to make the person giving me the jab promise me that it won’t make me autistic. So far, that seems to have worked, I think…

    The microchip technology isn’t advanced enough to get the chips tiny enough to fit through the small hole in the syringe needle. The conspiracy theorists watch too much sci-fi.

    Conspiracy theories? You mean like the Trump Russian Dossier and Hillary’s involvement? The one led to the bogus Muller investigation and impeachment of a President? Where Adam Schief stood up before the nation and claimed he had proof? Which he had none. How about Pelosi and Shummer pushing the lies daily to the corrupt major networks who spread those conspiracy theories?How quickly we forget. We were played people. The corruption is deep.

    If I am being tracked by my mobile phone, or my browsing history, or my credit card usage, or by any of the myriad other methods I’ve heard about, I’m certain by this time the “trackers” are saying, “Boredom, thy name is Bookworm.”
