Yesterday, CNBC aired a story "Why It’s Impossible To Put Tracking Microchips In Covid Vaccines"

It's a sad commentary on us that CNBC felt it was necessary. It's even sadder to realize that the people who don't need this information are the only ones who'll watch it.

The saddest part is that those people don't realize that they gladly pay, out of their own pocket, to carry tracking devices in the form of their cell phones. They are already microchipped, and do it voluntarily.

My son used the misinformation about microchipping to try to get out of getting the vaccine.  I gave him my best mom look and told him this exact thing.  He got the vaccine.

Except for the 36 of us on the planet who don't have smart phones --- or flip phones we only leave in the glove box for emergencies.

I avoided a smart phone for the longest time.  Finally broke down, primarily for the maps when we travel.  To this day though, I'll often still print out some maps because I can see everything on them easier than on that tiny phone screen.  I'll also periodically say something and my kids will chuckle and say something like "Mom, you have a smart phone for that".

I can't believe we need warnings on blow dryers not to use them in the bath or shower but the warnings are there. That's just one example. There are tons more.

I remember once there was a shipment of peanuts what was recalled because it didn't hade the warning that contains peanut.

The reason those warnings are there is because someone did exactly what they are warning against -- that doesn't say much for some people.

Although some warning labels are indispensable.

Very, very painful memories. Underwear do not protect you always.

It's an interesting exploration, though, of why otherwise apparently intelligent and rational people are prepared to believe such nonsense.

Information rushes in to fill a void in understanding.  If no information is handy, the void sucks in whatever it can find, the simpler the better.  Sadly, voids are also places of fear and suspicion, so real information can be overwhelmed and silenced there.

How's that for a metaphor?

You've just described hallucination. Devoid of sensory input, the brain will invent things to occupy itself.
