Ok, fellow boomer. And who do you think is the populace most likely to fall for Nigerian princes and believe in 5G Bill Gates vax chips?

That there are lots of people who believe in 5G Bill Gates vax chips is itself fake news. It is well poisoning to pre-empt criticism of billionaires with too much power and free time to meddle in African population growth and pandemic response. Supported by "smart" people who want to feel good and trust the science on 5G safety. There are Microsoft patents for microchips to track body activity to reward in cryptocurrency and subsidiaries who wanted to microchip vaccine passports into the hands of immigrants.

  Yes, real or invented conspiracy theories are routinely amplified and exaggerated by the powerful in order to link critics of $THING to undesirable people. Mention the word "elites" and you are a Nazi by association. Works every time.

People who read academic publications and do not see much of a fundamental difference between tattoos that contain information like a barcode and RFID chips that could contain the same information: https://news.rice.edu/news/2019/quantum-dot-tattoos-hold-vaccination-record https://news.rice.edu/news/2019/quantum-dot-tattoos-hold-vac... Or perhaps people who have been confused by conspiracy sites like npr.org and make the mental leap that this would be used for other purposes: https://www.npr.org/2018/10/22/658808705/thousands-of-swedes-are-inserting-microchips-under-their-skin https://www.npr.org/2018/10/22/658808705/thousands-of-swedes...

  Well the good thing about the vaccine record tattoo is that the skin is always transforming and rebuilding. It would be impossible to get a set of literal quantum dots to stay forever. Apparently the record would only be viable for 5 years.

  Also, the microchip has been around for a long time. I strongly doubt at least modern America could ever get close to even 25% adoption of something like that. There'd be riots, which i'd welcome. Article says there's 4000 users in Sweden which is pretty limited and they're all startup people. The same people that buy all the other constant tracking devices that companies constantly put out. Also i have doubts that full, total authentication will ever really work. Like, we've had decades and made some progress but were still a far far cry from universal auth into all our accounts, even with our phones. All it takes is for one service to go down, or for a competing service to crop up before the first one achieves critical mass and you'll be trapped in the change cycle forever
