> you have to admit that you are taking for granted that his intentions are benign Huh? I made no such assumption. I simply speculated that he was doing this for one form of currency, and not another. He may well want to track everybody, I have no idea. But the whole premise is absurd. Bill Gates doesn’t need to inject tracking microchips into everyone through a forced vaccination program to “sway elections” — that’s Hollywood supervillain-level garbage: a massively intricate complex plan that achieves so little. It’s like inventing a time machine just to use it to prove to your friend that he really did say that thing he denies he said in 1972. Bill Gates doesn’t need a crazy plan to sway elections — he can just buy tons of ads! He can fund others’ campaigns! I don’t know Gates’ intentions — but I’m pretty sure he’s not stupid.

You're conflating vaccination with the id2020 program. Different conspiracies. I'm just saying, if you implant an RFID digital certificate, you're effectively a walking uuid beacon. I'm not saying that's where he's going but the technology is there and his foundation is funding research into something like an RFID tattoo. Very easy to convince the masses that this is a necessary technology for safety given the new normal brought about by COVID19. If I had billions of dollars I'd certainly be tempted to play worldbuilder. I very much doubt that he sees the masses as people - not out of heartlessness, but out of a necessary objectivity. They are statistics.

  > I'm just saying, if you implant an RFID digital certificate, you're effectively a walking uuid beacon. We already carry beacons in our pockets all the time, and the government is already a subpoena away from getting that data. What do injected beacons buy Bill Gates exactly? Whatever it is, it feels like a ton of effort for not a ton of gain, tracking-wise, given that the beacons we have already broadcast their location over a much larger area.
