Rumors and claims about the COVID19 Vaccine are on the rise. Anti-vaccine groups are gaining popularity through word of mouth claims made in various social media posts.
Let’s mention a false claim that has become very popular all over the world.
According to an unauthentic claim, the global epidemic of coronavirus has actually been spread so that “Microchips” can be implanted in humans and they will be traceable. Myths around a claim that the location of each individual can be determined through these Chips. It has also been said that behind all this is the hand of Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft.
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Over these conspiracies spreading rapidly on social media, Bill Gates Foundation makes a flat denial about myths. They said that “This claim is completely false”.
“The reference to digital certificates points to efforts to create an open-source digital platform to ensure safe home testing.” the foundation explained.
Russia Blame “Globalists” Behind Coronavirus
The head of the Communist Party of Russia said this week that the so-called “globalists” had backed a plan to “secretly implant chips in humans” and that this work would probably be done soon Coronavirus vaccine.
He did not name Bill Gates, but Roger Stone, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, claimed that Bill Gates and others were using the virus to inject microchips into people to find out if they were.
Around 28% of U.S citizens believe that Bill Gates wants to use the vaccine to inject microchips into people. As per the survey, a large number of people believe in conspiracy theories are supporters of the Republican Party.
How It Began
An article titled “Bill Gates will install microchips to fight the coronavirus” began circulating on the Internet in March. The article referred to an interview with Microsoft founder when he said “we will have some digital certificates” that will tell us who has recovered, who has been tested, and who has been vaccinated. However, he never used the word “microchips”.
This article cites research from the Gates Foundation. The study was actually about a special ink that can be injected into a person and will contain someone’s vaccine record. But this technology is not a microchip, it is like an invisible tattoo.
A UK located Twitter account posted: “Bill Gates acknowledges that the vaccine will undoubtedly kill seven million people.” Attached is a video of Alex Jones, a right-wing conspiracy theorist. The tweet allegedly manipulated the actual words of Bill Gates.

They claim that the epidemic will “continue” until a vaccine arrives that “does not bring more money and corruption into the pockets of some people.”
