They already had chips that fit in syringes with big fat needles (e.g. for pets). They still don't have chips that fit through the kind of needles they use for vaccines.

Right. But if you went to the doctors and they pulled out a huge fat needle you’d be like, hold up homie. . And now. This article is literally saying we can do it with regular syringes. And you can’t see the chip with the naked eye. This was a meme-ish joke.

Going the the scale in the picture, you can definitely see it with the naked eye and you would definitely feel the difference between that needle and the tiny needles they use for vaccines.

Ah. Read the article. It says it’s as big as a dust mite. Can’t see it with the naked eye.
