19 Vaccine To Microchip Citizens
One in five Americans believes the federal government is using the COVID-19 vaccine to microchip the population, according to a recent poll.

Nearly 30% of Republican poll respondents – and only 4% of Democrats -- said they aren’t getting vaccinated. More whites than Black and Hispanic respondents in the Economist/You Gov poll said they reject the vaccine, while more Midwesterners and Southerners came out against vaccination than elsewhere in the country…
