Pentagon Develops Microchip Detecting COVID-19 By Tracking Your Blood

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Defense have developed a COVID-19 microchip blood detector that inserts into a person’s skin.

Dr. Matt Hepburn, a retired infectious diseases physician in the army, is leading a Pentagon effort titled “Enabling Technologies” to develop treatments for diseases. Hepburn told CBS’ “60 Minutes” Sunday that his team, operating under The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, was instructed by the government to take “pandemics off the table” with the chip development.

“You put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow,” Hepburn said. “It is like a ‘check engine’ light.”

Hepburn said the microchip would test blood levels perpetually, but attempted to downplay foreseeable privacy concerns with implanting government-funded technology into people’s bodies.

“It’s not some dreaded government microchip to track your every move, but a tissue-like gel engineered to continuously test your blood,” Hepburn said.

Rachel Bovard, policy director at the Conservative Partnership Institute, told The Federalist that “from contact tracing to vaccine passports, the COVID-19 response has blurred the lines between public health and privacy.”

“In some cases, this is necessary to fight a global pandemic,” Bovard said. “But if permanent changes are to be made, or if private industry is handed considerable license to demand individual health details, policymakers have to carefully consider the tradeoffs of commoditizing public health information in ways that make the private health data of Americans vulnerable to manipulation, misuse, and abuse.”

While there is no explicit reference to data gathering in the development of the microchips, Americans are understandably cautious of government technology and its uses. According to a CNN report on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security is working out a plan to bypass intelligence gathering protocol and use cybersecurity to collect data without warrants.

Holy shit it's happening. We all made our jokes and had a good time but it's legit happening. Why didn't we listen?

This glows so bright I think you could see it from the next galaxy over.
(we tried to warn you)

 

[keyboredsm4shthe2nd]

and I'm sure that's all it does, because the government (hail) has never done skeevy shit to its citizens in the name of "science" before.

Of course the microchip won't be required, but you're not going to be allowed in any businesses or flights unless you have it. We figured we would just add the ability to link your credit card to it as well as a few other things in the final design too!

It's like since covid the US is trying to out-China China.
Remember when all the pro "immigration" feminists were throwing shitfits about hystos performed on women who illegally came across the border, saying it was dehumanizing and inhumane?
Yeah, they're bending over backwards to get this, definitely.
Something something stonetoss.

I gotta wonder if this dude knows what he's set the groundwork to make? Did he ever consider the possibility it would be inevitably used for government control, or was he genuinely trying to help?

I wonder how he'll handle the guilt. Maybe he'll decry the technology and get Epstein'd, or maybe he'll drink himself to death.

"It's like a check engine light"

Am I going to get false-positives with this shit too?

 

[Some JERK]

LOL. This reminds me of that scene in Star Wars where Luke grabs the handcuffs, walks over to Chewie and says "Okay... So I'm going to put these on you..." and nearly gets murdered on the spot.

Good luck with this one.

And they scoffed at the mark of the beast stuff...

"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

The big surprise is gonna be when they let you know if you've already gotten the covid shot you have the microchip already.

If he didn't consider it, I'd be fascinated at how a drooling retard could construct such technology.

I'd imagine through focusing on the application of the technology through his field, rather than whatever repurposing the other agencies could come up with.

Nanomachines, son.

You will live in a pod.

You will eat the bugs.

You will own nothing.

You will be happy.

Conspiracy theory nutjobs debunked and factchecked again, it's not a chip it's just a mostly-peaceful tissue-like gel

This is a joke article right?

This is something I seen mentioned around for a few years now, but had different purposes. They originally started work on this at MIT if I am not mistaken.

Though let's explore the potential problems, despite the MARK OF THE BEAST AHhhHhha talking point. Main tech can barely keep your shit posts out of the hands of foreign agents, how in the fuck can the government or medical institutions ensure the viability of keeping this type of sensitive biometric information confidential? Also how long does the microchip remain in your circulatory system, what if the body rejects it, what if there is a minor EMF discharge that renders the readings inaccurate?

Like I can sort of see some useful applications for this type of tech, maybe in detecting early stages of cancer, or in future pandemics when they first spring off. Though isn't it a little fucking late in the game to try to do this for COVID? Seeing that there are a shitload of gullible gunneia pigs out there willing to test out this new tech for practically nothing, I guess at least there will be some advancements in potential less invasive forms of screening of diseases I suppose. Though that it assuming we live in a perfect world without the body potentially rejecting it, possiblity for it to become clotted in an artery, if these institutions where not so fucking stupid with our personal information, etc.

No, it's not.
