A new poll shows a huge amount of Americans (44% of Republicans, 19% of Democrats) believe Bill Gates created the coronavirus so he could use a vaccine to track us. The irony is this would be a considerable downgrade on how we're tracked now, through our phones & internet usage.
Why would Bill Gates want to monitor our movements when that can already be done through our phones? Does he want to know when we move from the kitchen to the family room for that small percentage of us that don't carry our phones in the house?
A tracking device wouldn't tell corporations all the much more useful information they already know about us through the Internet: what we like & dislike, who our social groups are, our spiritual beliefs, what porn we watch, &, most importantly, what our buying preferences are.
Believing Bill Gates created the coronavirus to use a vaccine to monitor our activity is like believing Bill Gates created the coronavirus to own the patent on rotary dial phones.
