I have little to no appetite for "conspiracy theories". In fact, one of my dearest friends is so-o-o-o into these things I can't bear to talk with him because the conversation turns into a litany of "THEY" and what "They" are up to.
Conspiracies appeal to certain personality types and having once been in an F-ing CULT - I'm very squeamish. My default position is skepticism. I hope not fanaticism.
Having said all that ...
I must peel back the outer skin of this onion just a wee bit.
So many lies are told and enforced "at the top" I've become more than suspicious that an agenda (unstated) is at the core of mandates for vaccination.
I get a creepy feeling. Yeah, I said that.
I don't like this feeling.
I do understand that "feelings" are not facts but animals possess instincts and humans refer to their version of instincts as "intuition". So, I'll just employ that term. My intuition tells me there is more to the mandates than honest brokering of public health and the righteous "safety of the many rather than the rights of the few."
If I were compelled to speculate I'd be taking a long stroll off a short pier.
I hate listening to conspiracy speculations and watching other people's videos that are labeled 'MUST SEE!!!"
My rule of thumb is simply. The more exclamation points, the weaker the argument."
If you want to break down a society you must DIVIDE people into smaller and smaller groups. Intersectional breakdown is a symptom something is afoot.
Righteous indignation at others is a worrisome psychiatric alarm bell to my ears.
Media is being manipulated and in turn manipulates us. This drives skeptics crazy.
I am a skeptic and I'm crazy.
I break out in a rash when "TRUTH" is mentioned with the word "THE" in front of it.
The labeling of whistleblowers and apostates with rotten adjectives, labels, and implications allows the voice of the "Devil's Advocate" to be silenced.
We can still "think" what we think but if we "speak" what we think we can be
invigilated to our own sorry end.
Our electronic devices have been compromised. Siri and Alexa 'hear' everything.
IF (remember, I just said "if") something were injected into our body identifying us and our location at all times - would that be useful to the invigilators?

WHAT CAN WE KNOW?
A conspiracy developed around a certain Billionaire named Bill largely because he played dumb
about a simple question asked directly about MICROCHIP implants in vaccinations.
First of all - What the heck is this all about? Color me curious. So, I decided to devote an hour investigating.
Let's go to Smithsonian magazine's article in 2019.
Quote:
"The tattoo technology, described today in the journal Science Translational Medicine, is still in the early stages of development, and hasn’t yet been tested in humans. But the team’s experiments in rats suggest that these medical marks are both safe and long-lasting, and can be administered alongside vaccines without compromising efficacy."
Notice this next paragraph:
Quote:
"Backed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, interviews in Malawi, Bangladesh, Benin, and Kenya will begin early next year.
“We want people to be comfortable,” says study author Kevin McHugh, a bioengineer at Rice University. “The goal is widespread adoption.”
_______
Okaaaaay.
Sounds like the poor people in Africa are going to be a test case, huh?
What else should we know?
Quote in Smithsonian mag:
"From there, reading the dots becomes a lot like scanning a QR code. Though invisible to the naked eye, dots stamped onto pieces of pig and human skin lit up in clear patterns—a circle, rectangle or cross—when viewed through a smartphone fitted with an infrared filter, the team found."
The TITLE of this article has a tagline:
"But the technology raises several ethical concerns that could stymie its progress".
Ya think?
As a result of these "ethical concerns," a poll was published demonstrating who was concerned and how many.
Yahoo Poll in May of 2020: Are concerned about ethics
Republicans = 44%
Democrats = 19%
Independants = 24%
______________________________43% Dems + Independants

RICE UNIVERSITY called these "Quantum Dot Tattoos"
IBM called them "Electronic Documents"
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation paid for and patented it.
So here is where the CONSPIRACY THEORIES began.
The Interview on TV where Nora O'Donnell asks Gates:
"Do you want a vaccine so you can put microchips into people?"
Triggering this response from Bill Gates:
"No - there's no connection between any of these vaccines and any
tracking type thing at all. I don't know where that came from."
Make of that what you will.
Saying "any of these vaccines" contradicts the vaccinations in Africa - doesn't it?
Or am I missing something?
I'm sure those who want to use these issues to score political points and create a Boogeyman are thrilled by this controversy.
When asked about the claim, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation told Reuters,
“The reference to “digital certificates” relates to efforts to create an open source digital platform with the goal of expanding access to safe, home-based testing.”
IBM describes a digital certificate asn an “electronic document” used to identify an individual,
And associate the identity with a public key. Like a driver’s license or a passport, it provides proof of a person’s identity (here).
See where it says (here)?
That “link” does NOT exist.

On that same Web Page is a link to RICE UNIVERSITY’s Web Page :

There is a “There” there - but who knows how innocent? I think that margin of “WHO KNOWS?” is enough to scare certain people who don’t trust Gates for other (Epstein) reasons.
That’s my research. Draw your own conclusions.
Is this an electronic SHIBBOLETH in the long run?
Stay tuned…
Conclusion?
“There are plenty of reasons why patients might hesitate to sign on to such an unusual procedure. One of the biggest issues, Lee says, involves the privacy, something that’s already a hot-button topic in the realm of health records. Carrying medical information on the body—even in a form that’s “invisible” without a special filter—could invite stigma, discrimination, or worse. You want to advance science. But you also want to be mindful of the potential impact that science might have.”
And Kendall Hoyt, a biosecurity expert at Dartmouth College’s Geisel School of Medicine, warned that the idea of administering tattoos may not be well received. Potential patients could reject the procedure out of fear or mistrust. They may worry that authorities are using the patches to “encrypt” information onto individuals. She notes that:
“Given the nature of these issues, the team’s tattoos could end up widening the chasm between patients and health providers, both foreign and local. If communication about the product isn’t initiated early. I worry about the unintended consequences. It could make things worse than they already are.” Kendall Hoyt, PhD
