> 28% of Americans believe that Bill Gates wants to use vaccines to implant microchips in people The craziest part is, the Gates Foundation did fund something very close to that: not microchips, but Biocompatible near-infrared quantum dots delivered to the skin by microneedle patches record vaccination. It's essentially a tiny tattoo visible only in infrared light to track who has been vaccinated. So that rumor is more of a misunderstanding (of the difference between quantum dots and microchips) than misinformation. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/invisible-ink-could-reveal-whether-kids-have-been-vaccinated/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/invisible-ink-cou... https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/11/523/eaay7162 https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/11/523/eaay7162
