Here’s where we get way out into conspiracy theory. There is simply no evidence that Bill Gates has any plans to implant microchips into human beings.
He has discussed the possibility of digital health certificates in interviews, but this is a world away from implants that track people’s movements.
Gates himself
has said: “I’ve never been involved in any microchip type thing. It is good to know which kids have had a measles vaccine and which have not, so there are data systems and… health records that people use to track that… but there’s no chips or anything like that.
“It’s almost hard to deny this stuff, because it’s so stupid or strange, that to even to repeat almost seems to give it credibility.”
Is this really about the coronavirus?
We slid from health passports to Bill Gates pretty quickly there, and in fact it’s clear that StandUpX have a number of preoccupations that go way beyond the government’s response to Covid-19.
They also want to “take down 5G” – that’s the new mobile phone network which has inspired a host of bizarre conspiracy theories.
StandUpX say: “5G is necessary for the infrastructure of 24/7 Surveillance Tracking & Implantable Microchips.”
It’s hard to know what to do with a claim like this, other than noting that there is no evidence for any of it.
StandUpX repeat the widely
debunked claim that large numbers of trees are being felled to make way for 5G transmitters.
