Swedes Are Implanting Microchip Vaccine Passports. It Won't Stop There

Last week, the world glimpsed a future in which vaccine passports are implanted under the skin.

In a sane world, the idea of having your hand chipped to access public goods or private property-to receive a mark in order to "Buy, sell, or trade"-should alarm anyone, regardless of religious persuasion.

Presently, some 5,000 Swedes use implanted radio frequency identification chips to open doors, pay cashless, present medical records, access concert venues, and ride public transportation.

According to Ars Technica, as of 2018 an estimated 50,000-100,000 people worldwide have microchip implants, primarily in their hands.

In 2018-the same year Biohax gained international attention for chipping thousands of Swedish hands-MIT Technology Review boosted it with the fawning headline: "This company embeds microchips in its employees, and they love it."

The document goes on to describe tracking chips, wearable bio-sensors, internal organ sensors, Web-connected neurotech, swallowable digital pills-merging body and brain with the digital beehive.

Last spring, the UK's Ministry of Defense published the jarring study, "Human Augmentation: The Dawn of a New Paradigm." The authors promise this "Will become increasingly relevant, partly because it can directly enhance human capability and behaviour, and partly because it is the binding agent between people and machines." Surveying today's cyborgs, they write, "Once inserted, these 'chips' canreplace many of our keys and passwords, allowing us to unlock doors, start vehicles, and even log onto computers and smartphones."
