STOCKHOLM

 

Following Sweden’s announcement that the coronavirus vaccine passport requirement will be put into practice, the number of people who got microchips inserted under their skin rose, according to local media.

 

Swedish daily Aftonbladet reported on Sunday that a rise was recorded in the number of people who had microchips inserted in their hands following Sweden's announcement that a vaccination passport will be required at all events with over 100 participants as of Dec. 1.

 

Citing a resident, Hannes Sjoblad, the daily reported that he had a microchip with his vaccination passport inserted to his left hand.

In Thailand, forget about the Mo Prom app. Instead, get a microchip implanted. I wonder if this will get fashionable in Thailand.

Many Swedes got microchip implants years before the covid-19 era for various purposes.

Dogs are microchip ed. Need I say more?

 

If George Orwell were alive, even he would be boggled, IMO.

IMO they'll probably get a phone implanted when such becomes available.

Haha, nuff said....going like a clock.

 

Watch all the mainstream news diners line up for that...free *something* if they do it...I saw it on CNN, it must be a good solution.

 

Passwords...? it all just got too much to handle....it just seems easier if they just stick it under my skin after 3-FA passwords came in.

Kinda scary.  But if some are OK with this, why not.  What's the fuss.  It's not being mandated.

If you don't know what the fuss is about, read 1984 by George Orwell.

 

BTW, no politician considered mandatory vaccination till recently. You posted something about that.

Thin end of the wedge and all that.

I've read it.  Some get all wound up about this.  Talking about their personal freedoms, etc.  Well, if someone wants a microchip, isn't that their personal freedom?  Seems the sword doesn't cut both ways for some.

 

I'd rather not, but if it makes life easier, I really don't care.

I was discussing it morphing into something mandated. Other than that I don't care if someone wants to do anything to themselves as long as it doesn't affect others.

Agreed!  But not getting vaccinated does affect others.  Something the anti vaxxers don't seem to care about.  Or understand.

I will only allow one to be inserted a few inches below my waist and about 12 inches above my knees, i.e. when that part fails me, then I will call it technology, not this !

 

Friend of mine told me about this in the 90's, I thought he was a little over the top, but he was spot on, sadly he isn't with us anymore passing a couple of years after telling me of this, brilliant mind though.

Microchips implanted into one’s body are supposed to make daily life convenient. They open a perspective to replace traditional keys, cards, IDs, and even train tickets with a microchip.

Despite how futuristic this information sounds in 2018 Business Insider published another article with attached video from AFP showing that state-owned SJ –national Swedish railway- started scanning hands of passengers with biometric chips to collect their train fare.

Interesting read.  Microchips are coming.

According to BBC News, the interface’s short-term goal is to assist with or “cure” certain illnesses or disabilities by allowing the microchip to compensate for areas in which the brain cannot access memories or control motor functions. Neuralink contends such chips could eventually be used to help “cure” conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries. The interface could also allow people with or without neurological conditions to control doors, phones, or even computers with their mind.

No one is suggesting that technology should not be used to help those that actually need it, but it's not warranted for the majority, IMO.

 

Everyday, I am more happy that I won't be around for the brave new world that is coming. ( Sarcasm alert for those that don't get the reference ).

I bet the Chinese government are wetting themselves over that technology. No need for facial surveillance any more, as people will be tracked easily with chips.

If both vaxxed and unvaxxed people can both pass the virus but the vaxxed person won't get seriously sick or die so then it only affects the person that doesn't want to get vaxxed passing it to another unvaxxed person.

Or at I missing something? Starting to become a chicken or egg scenario.

Those who are double or triple-jabbed have nothing to fear from the unvaccinated. Or, if they do, what's the point in the vaccinations? So, I would guess that those who worry about the unvaccinated are just showing empathy and concern about them infecting each other.

What is so hard to understand about probability? There's less of a chance that a vaxxed person will get sick or die but not no chance. And the bigger the reservoir is of potential covid hosts the more likely it is that others get infected.

[Jeffr2]

Technology moving on. Microchips are nothing.

Some vaccinated people do die or get seriously ill, they are just much less likely to than unvaccinated people.  Unvaccinated people have a greater chance of killing each other, as well as of killing vaccinated people.

 

Unvaccinated people also permit the unhindered replication of the virus in their own bodies, which generates countless mutations, which have the potential to become more virulent or more vaccine resistant strains, which then cause greater problems for vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.

 

It's clear that the Omicron variant originated in largely unvaccinated South Africa, for this reason. Omicron may not be as dangerous as is feared, but the more unvaccinated people there are, the more likely that a more serious strain will emerge and start the whole thing off again.

It’s frightening, they’ll be able to track your every move, locate you within a few meters, monitor who you are interacting with, build a database of your interests.
