Storing medical information below the skin’s surface
news.mit.edu
MIT researchers have developed a novel way to record a patient’s vaccination history: storing the data in a pattern of quantum-dot dye, invisible to the naked eye, that is delivered under the skin at the same time as the vaccine.

Seems very patronizing idea tbh - “oh you can’t possibly know when you got the vaccine, we better make tattoo for you with invisible ink”

Also gates and koch foundation feeling very strongly about africa :soviet-hmm:

    Unfounded concerns about undisclosed "microchips" in medical products or vaccines is quite an old thing, way older than 2019 at least. Not sure if the origin could ever really be pinned down precisely.

    It's one of those things that's kind of possible, but only with a really significant and unrealistic cover-up.

      Part of the origin is Evangelical Christians believing various technologies are the literal Mark of the Beast. Growing up I definitely thought they were gonna force microchip everyone and it was going to be the end times lol. Before that there were conspiracy theories about bar codes and something else I've forgotten at this point.

      Ah, I thought I found first story that unites “gates”, “they’re gonna chip you” and “vaccine” in one place

        Oh I'm sure this story has been passed around related to COVID shots, and could be a significant source of recent unhinged sentiments about those particular medical products.

        Clinical data is my background, a firm that sponsors contract to collect outcome assessments (questionnaires/surveys) from patients for safety signals and regulatory approvals and whatnot. In the data warehouse, I see subject withdrawal reasons stating concerns about "chips" as early as the first year the company was in business, over 10 years ago.

            I do actually see nanomachines mentioned in year 0 also - though it's translated, from Scandinavia. Wouldn't be surprised if that one was kind of Kojima's fault...

    A national vaccine record db that works on the same chips we put in pets would be cool actually

    Ofc this is amerikkka so they would privatize it, the company would steal all our data to sell it then suffer a massive cybersecurity breach, and they would implant our credit reports and criminal records

    Biden already advanced past the microchips. He’s inserting alien life forms inside vaccines now
