tracking them because of the covid vaccine
- The covid vaccines do not contain microchips that
track you
- It’s not possible to fit a microchip into a vaccine
- A microchip needs a power source to have a signal
- “5% of the US population believe it’s definitely true”
- “15% of the US population believe it’s probably true”
- People used the quote, “My body, My choice” when
dealing with covid and the vaccines
