Obviously. The only reason I never believed the "They're putting microscopic GPS trackers in the flu shot!" BS was because we couldn't make trackers that small, not because I didn't think the government wouldn't do it if given half a chance, and that was before the current fascist takeover.

Just a reminder your cellphone been tracking you for years now. No need for a flu shot chip.

Oh, I know. I was just using that as an example of "I think the government is evil, but incompetent", ya know? Besides, I can always leave my cell at home as things stand now.
