If you think Bill Gates is going to implant a chip in your brain via a COVID vaccine you are mistaken. Once such tech exists (if ever) people will be lining up in queues and pay a lot of money to get it implanted.

- codedokode 1y agoTreating everyone as a potential criminal and collecting their DNA and fingerprints is not normal practice. Fingerprints are collected only from criminals or suspects.
