I'm actually a bit curious on if you had more information regarding your claim as the evidence you provided for it leads me straight to a meme that involves a doctor and a patient who says he doesn't have the COVID vaccine booster shot because he isn't interested in mind control. Unfortunately, a meme without any concrete evidence, let alone from a website that isn't reliable can't be used for support when it comes to this claim. 

Coming from the Mayo Clinic Health System, their article discusses COVID 19 myths while providing factual and proven information involving what the vaccines do for citizens, even stating in one section, "COVID-19 vaccines won't track your location or movements. COVID-19 vaccines were developed to help the body develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19. Also, COVID-19 vaccines don't contain preservatives, antibiotics, metals, or aborted fetal tissues or cells." 

While the article was first published on September 2 2021, it has since been updated on August 2 2023, making the article have new information and debunked myths as well for further information. Hope this helps!

Great job on this fact-check! You did a phenomenal job researching the subject as opposed to this person making the claim.  You backed up how this was fake with a very reliable source, the Mayo Clinic. If I were you, I would add to your claim that this is disinformation to inform people.
