Microchips the size of a grain of rice can be inserted into the body with the help of a syringe. In recent years, thousands of people in Sweden have been using this microchip technology, which is placed under the skin of their hands. Citizens, who benefit from technology used in many areas in daily life, from accessing smartphones to opening locked home doors, can now access COVID-19 vaccine information thanks to microchip.
Swedish citizens have already begun to implant microchips under the skin of their hands to make their daily lives easier. With the announcement that vaccination passports will be implemented within the scope of coronavirus measures in the country, there has been a rapid increase in the number of people who have microchips in their hands.
6 thousand citizens had microchips
It has been reported that there has been an increase in the rate of those who have microchips in their hands, with the COVID-19 vaccine passport being requested at events with more than 100 participants in Sweden. One of the citizens who had a microchip inserted in his hand stated that when he took his mobile phone, his information about COVID-19 was reflected on his mobile phone, and stated that this was a new development and became increasingly popular among Swedes. The Swedish government has not yet made a statement about the use of inserted microchips as a kind of vaccination passport.
Digital cultures researcher Moa Petersen announced that 6,000 people have been microchipped in their hands so far in Sweden. Petersen stated that those who have microchips do not need to carry a vaccination passport, key, ID card, thanks to Radio Frequency Identification Technology. Petersen emphasized that they received reactions from the whole world with the chip insertion, but that the Swedes had high confidence in technology.
The Swedish State Railways Company (SJ) announced in 2017 that they started the practice of reading tickets with a microchip, with the increase in people getting microchips in their hands. Experts think that microchip technology, which is used in various areas of life, will soon become very common in Europe.
