    There is a problem with this plan: A public-serving pharmacist is unlikely to want to sell in bulk to anyone, and especially not someone who is ranting or deluded.

    As such, your vaccine conspiracy theorist will come away thinking that they weren’t given the vaccines because “they knew we’d find the chips”.

    You’d basically have to break the law to break the conspiracy: Steal the vaccines. (This is a hypothetical. Do not steal the vaccines.)

    And even then, I’m sure the conspiracy theorist would come up with some way of explaining why that batch didn’t have the chips in it. “They were too small for even the microscope to see.” / “They knew we were coming and let us steal fakes.” / “They’re arresting us to keep up the act.” / “I bet this prison food has microchips in it too.”

      I think you may be misled about the plan. The plan here isn’t to teach the idiot that he’s an idiot, and that everything they know is wrong.

      The plan here is to let the idiot publically be an idiot. Without sarcasm or irony. Just let them be dumb, and allow the pharmist to react on film.

      Ya know…because it’d be funny!
