Implanted microchip could be used to verify COVID-19 vax status

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (TND) — Microchip technology invented by Swedish startup company "Epicenter" is now being presented as a possible way to carry around a COVID-19 vaccine passport under a person's skin, according to a viral video.

"Beep boop beep: Your vaccination record has been verified," says the caption of the video posted to Twitter by South China Morning Post.

"Imagine showing your COVID-19 passport with just a flash of your arm," the video says at its beginning, showing a person holding out their arm and scanning it with a mobile phone.

The video explains the microchip uses pre-existing technology the startup company was already developing to employ "near-field communication" (NFC) and send data to any compatible device. Smartphones are listed as an example of a possible data receiver.

2. Oh boy, this is gonna trigger all the anti-vaxxers

They were claiming the vaccine contained a microchip from the start.

5. By the end of the holidays, they'll be using this as proof.

One or more of the kookynews services will do podcasts about this, loaded with half-truths and half-assed speculation, and anti-vaxxers will be linking to them as proof that we are being chipped.

11. Oh that would just send the RWNJs over the edge.

They would (hopefully) jump en masse over the nearest cliff.

14. I've often said

I'd gladly take any and all chips, bionic parts, etc. into my body. Just leave at least a tiny bit of human parts. Kind of like robo cop. As I've gotten older, my body hurts everywhere. I say, if my flesh and bone wants to turn against me like that, I'll just replace their asses with metal and wires! Serves 'em right!
