"Last month a poll by YouGov found that 44% of Republicans think Bill Gates wants to use covid-19 vaccines to implant microchips in people; 19% of Democrats agree."
That number, for both parties, was much higher than I would've guessed.
- xenospn 6y agoBased on both numbers I'd have to say this is completely made up. There's no possible way this is real. I've seen those "Bill gates as the elder of zion" memes circulated around once or twice but the people who did share those are the same people who share healing crystal and astrology memes, and they're not 20% of the population.
- itsspring 6y agoI would have to agree. Unless they only interviewed the people who saw a targeted campaign of just that fake info, and then asked how many of them believed it. But broadly there's no way that's an accurate percentage
- cameronfraser 6y agoI heard this from a real life human being recently, was quite the shock. They then keep saying things like "Coronavirus is just a flu"
- benjohnson 6y agoChecking the source - it was a Yahoo poll. Not to be rude to people that use Yahoo, but my impressions is that you'd need to poll from other sources to find a representative example of your typical American.
