51 percent of unvaccinated individuals think the COVID-19 vaccine contains a microchip

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In the latest in head-scratching news, one in five Americans believes the COVID-19 vaccine contains a microchip, a recent Economist/YouGov poll reveals.

When respondents were asked how likely they thought it to be true that "the U.S. government is using [the vaccine] to microchip the population," 20 percent of U.S. adults said they thought it "definitely/probably true" and 14 percent weren't sure. 66 percent denied such a claim as "definitely/probably false." Notably, when broken down by vaccination status, 51 percent of "vaccine rejectors" believed the microchip theory, as opposed to just 9 percent of those who are fully vaccinated.

On a more broad level, 85 percent of those who don't want to get vaccinated believed the "threat of the coronavirus was exaggerated for political reasons."

The Economist and YouGov surveyed 1,500 people between July 10-13, 2021. Results have a margin of error of approximately 3 percent. See more results at YouGov.

8. Excuses

Truth to me is that everyone I've queried about their decision to not get the vaccine is about an inch deep. They have standard responses to the question, but when pushed at all, they have little else. Laziness seems to rank among the higher reasons. General dislike for doctors and medicine seem to be another leading underlying reasons. And really, the bottom line is that people don't want to acknowledge that there is a problem.

9. You'd think by now one of them would have figured out

they could buy up a semi full of Vaccines, sell them to Ford for a tidy profit so those F150's sitting idle could get out on the road.
