Of all the anti-vax conspiracy theories you have swallowed over the past few months - a veritable smorgasbord of inanity, insanity, and downright lunacy - the most hilarious is the idea that the Covid vaccine contains a 'tracking device' by which the government can find you.
The fact is that no such devious plan was ever necessary - because you have made 'finding you' so damned easy.
One need only perk up their ears and listen - to the low-IQ whack-jobs that show up at school board meetings to fight for the right to watch their own children die by attending school unmasked, or hear RW Covidiots claim that their free-dumbs include infecting others with a deadly disease.
Anyone can visit a livestock supply store, and quickly ascertain who is stocking-up on horse-dewormer - just as anyone can attend a pro-Trump rally and find the misspelled protest signs that demonstrate the incredibly low-IQs of those who display them.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that an airline passenger who winds up duct-taped to their seat is a deranged lunatic - any more than it takes an ordinary citizen to recognize that Stop the Steal advocates have consistently ignored the fact that almost a year after the 2020 election, there has yet to be an iota of proof presented that the election was 'rigged'.
The idea that anyone needs to inject you with a tracking device is beyond ludicrous, when you make yourselves so damned obvious as clueless yahoos who are more than willing to expose yourselves as being exactly that.

(8,045 posts)I would inevitably run into the argument, "If we're forced to register our guns then the tyrannical government will be able to round us all up. I want to keep my guns unregistered so I can fight back when the time comes" or words to that effect.
To which I'd reply, "Dude, you just publicly announced that you have guns and are willing to violently oppose the government. Do you actually believe that adopting a cute on-line pseudonym will keep your identity a secret?"
Not to mention: cell phones.

(45,427 posts)these are the people who stormed the capitol on Jan 6 and then manage to be super surprised when FBI shows up to arrest them at home months later. They have no idea how they were found out.
Must be super tiny tracking chips to fit in those tiny little needles.
