Some 20% of Americans believe in the conspiracy theory that microchips may have been planted inside COVID-19 vaccines that millions of people have already taken worldwide, according to a study by YouGov and The Economist that was conducted last week.
Despite a lack of evidence to support such a claim, the poll concluded overall that 15% of Americans said this conspiracy theory was “probably true” while another 5% said it was “definitely true.”
The same poll concluded that 27% of people aged 30-44 support this theory, with 8% of Biden voters and 29% of Trump voters believed it. Some 14% of Democratic voters and 32% of Republican voters also shared the same sentiment.
Misinformation regarding COVID-19 has been a controversial subject during the past year. Just recently, US President Joe Biden said that misinformation spreading on social media regarding the virus has been “killing people.”
False content has been published on social media regarding the microchip theory, with many conspiracy theorists saying that COVID-19 is just a coverup for world governments and corporations to track millions of people using vaccines.

And the other 80% believe that gene editing is inside the covid vaccine.
And since there are more UFO sightings, these extra terrestrial creatures are using those implanted chips to invade our planet! It’s so clear! Doomsday is around the corner! And before Doomsday does come to destroy all life, please buy the Bridge I’m selling!
Headline should read. 20 percent doesn’t trust the govt and suspects them of hr violations.
That’s a socialist-fascist lie; trying to sabotage the anti-Faucism movement. Most anti-Faucists are the exact opposite of the tinfoil hatters. After all, only an irrational person would want to inject himself with an experimental genetic treatment that hasn’t been properly tested, all for a disease that most young and relatively healthy people have basically a zero chance of dying from. It would take a decade or two of safety trials to determine if this genetic treatment doesn’t cause long-term issues such as infertility, brain damage, and immune system disorders. If anything, it is this genetic treatment guinea-pigs that lack basic rational thinking and are likely to believe in microchips or aliens or lizard people or whatever.
Good point.
Vaccines that contain microchips, or that will make you magnetic, George Washington’s wooden teeth, Elvis’ imminent return (along with another guy from 2000 years ago), flat Earth, Baal Shem Tov’s flying horses, Mohamed’s flying horse, unicorns, Big Foot, a rabbi who remains alive long after his burial, spontaneous generation, the aliens, and horseshoes along with rabbit’s feet for good luck….
There will always be a percentage of people who believe in every sort of nonsense, for any given reason. Just because there are many of them, the beliefs aren’t any more valid than if there was only one fool.
