So Sam gets it wrong, and falls for a sarcasm/speculative piece from some politician that is not from the WEF (As Sam told us, it was a quote from a founder, and it was not) and he only regurgitates what the misleading sources of information he uses told him about what to think about it.

As Reuters puts it, after seeing the context that was omitted by the sources Sam used:

> VERDICT
> 
> False. The World Economic Forum does not have a stated goal to have people ‘own nothing and be happy’ by 2030. Its Agenda 2030 framework outlines an aim to ensure all people have access to ownership and control over land and other forms of property.

And then to that bit of info he replies that he was correct, because they are loony, and he knows what they meant, like a good conspiracy follower.

> For example, a serious panel on Covid vaccines is followed by a talk about how we could embed chips in people with syringes to track their carbon consumption, so naturally the covid vaccine is putting chips in people, right?

Nope **Sam** , that is based on a conspiracy made up before:

> VERDICT  
> Altered. COVID-19 vaccine syringes could contain RFID microchips on labels, but they wouldn’t be ‘injected’ into the individual that receives the vaccine. A video containing this claim features altered and out of context footage.

At least conspiracy guys do like to recycle their stuff… 🙂
