Wtf do I say to him? Anyone seen any decent articles online?
Friend is also clinically vulnerable and saying he won't get it. He also isn't the only person I know who thinks this either.Confused

Eh? How would a micro chip fit in to a needle?

Cornettoninja · 06/02/2021 21:14

if someone is convinced we’re all being microchipped via the vaccine you’re not talking them out of anything. Don’t engage on the subject.

morninglive · 06/02/2021 21:15

Tell your friend it isnt a microchip, it is nano particles that will control their thought patterns and turn us all into cybermen.

You can't reason with crazy

Buntysbosom · 06/02/2021 21:17

Does he feel that he goes anywhere interesting enough that someone would want to track him?

I can feel my cats microchip under her skin, the needles for the vaccination are tiny.

inquietant · 06/02/2021 21:19

I think all you can say is you absolutely disagree, that they need to stop and consider why would all those amazing doctors take part and find some articles to read.

If they won't listen then ask them to not discuss the topic.

AquaFairySoul · 06/02/2021 21:19

Tell him it's true Grin ain't no cure for daft

DinosaurDiana · 06/02/2021 21:19

Let him skip it and it’ll go to someone who will appreciate it.

PumpkinsMum18 · 06/02/2021 21:20

If he has smart phone or uses any kind of social media then he is already being tracked.... we all are!

CeefBurry · 06/02/2021 21:20

Oh ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️

AllAussieAdventures · 06/02/2021 21:21

Tell him that is what they want him to think, so that they can keep the vaccines for the elites...

GerardWay123 · 06/02/2021 21:23

I love a good conspiracy, but the Government would start with micro chipping newborn babies.

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 06/02/2021 21:23

If he has smart phone or uses any kind of social media then he is already being tracked.... we all are!

Yeah, this

MrsSugar · 06/02/2021 21:27

I’d just let him think that. No point arguing with that mentally. If the government chip me to track me they r in for some very full reading

AfternoonToffee · 06/02/2021 21:36

I'm not sure there is anything you can get him to read that will convince him otherwise. Just smile and nod.

notevenat20 · 06/02/2021 21:41

Are these liquid microchips? And, do you get a different one depending on which sort of vaccine you get?

AquaFairySoul · 06/02/2021 21:46

Any articles he could read would surely be just you know.... The news ?

EwwSprouts · 06/02/2021 21:47

No need to we all carry mobiles.

AuntyClementine · 06/02/2021 21:47

If he believes something so irrational there is no point in trying to rationalise with him. Just avoid the subject entirely.

SionnachRua · 06/02/2021 21:47

I'm sure he's messaging you this from his phone, right? Or is he fully off the grid and using pigeons/ smoke signals/ Morse code Grin

corlan · 06/02/2021 21:55

Tell him he's right. I had the vaccine a month ago now and, ever since, I've been convinced that Boris Johnson is the greatest leader we've ever had.

ittakes2 · 06/02/2021 21:59

My cleaner is like this - she is one of the loveliest, most kindest, generous person I know. But listens to conspiracy theories and is totally balmy when it comes to the vaccine. She thinks the gov is inserting tracking devices into people. Why she thinks the goverment wants to follow her life I don't know! I don't engage - you can't change their mind.

Paperdolly · 06/02/2021 22:11

Tell her it changes your speech to Chinese so she’d better hurry up and speak to you now before she can’t understand you. 😂

Iamthewombat · 06/02/2021 22:15

Can’t he come up with more exciting conspiracy theories? That one has been done to death! I quite like the nano particles one upthread. The one with the cybermen.

SpringIsComingAlways · 06/02/2021 22:23

Ask him who put the dumb chip in him so you can avoid that one

Bluetrews25 · 06/02/2021 22:23

Yes, he's right. I've found Bill Gates strangely attractive since I had my jab. Obviously. Hmm
