Misinformation is taking a dangerous hold on Fox News viewers. According to a new poll, half of all Americans who name Fox News as their primary news source believe the debunked conspiracy theory claiming Bill Gates is looking to use a coronavirus vaccine to inject a microchip into people and track the worlds population.
The Yahoo News/YouGov poll, released on Friday, found that 44 percent of Republicans also buy into the unfounded claim, while just 19 percent of Democrats believe the lie about the Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist.
According to Yahoos report on the poll, neither Fox News nor President Trump has promoted the false Gates conspiracy. But sowing seeds of distrust of mainstream media and the spread of misinformation is a hallmark of the network and the current president. Last month, Fox primetime host Laura Ingraham shared a tweet where she expressed agreement with a user who wrote about the debunked conspiracy theory.
Digitally tracking Americans every move has been a dream of the globalists for years. This health crisis is the perfect vehicle for them to push this, Ingraham wrote.

(30,817 posts)It appears that Moderna - backed by the Gates Foundation - is the 'chosen one' for making the vaccine that will pull us out of this. If that is going to arouse the suspicion of people who should be getting the vaccine, perhaps we should look elsewhere. Lots of researchers are working on a vaccine.
Rather than moan and groan about people and their CT theories, we should be making sure we can alleviate concerns with a transparent process.
