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:

    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...
