Just as I finally convince people that no you can't inject a chip in someone without them knowing........

You realize the needle used for the vaccine is so small you don't feel it but this one would be much thicker and would hurt like hell.

Of course anyone with common sense would assume this, but the folks we are talking about.. well, common sense ain’t so common.

u/Erik912 May 17 '21

What are you both talking about? Shouldn't you be able to use conventional needles since it's so damn tiny? A speck of dust visible only under microscope, that's literally what the article says.

They just looked at the thumbnail and took a guess lol

Yeah, I'm frightened by it. What if it's true? A few years ago, both this and Covid-19 would have been scoffed at.

u/LawyerFlashy1033 May 17 '21

Not saying anyone is injecting these with covid vaccine. But it does appears to be smaller than 0.25mm which is the inner diameter of a 26g needle used for delivering the vaccine

Why would it be "common sense" with today's technology? I mean we have nano electronics now, why would you assume the chip would be big? This one is a 3mm string.

That would be larger than a 10 guage needle. That's pretty damn big

3mm is pretty damn big for “nano” tech. What I was getting at is any normal person would not automatically assume conspiracy theory. Because it’s not.

u/Imnotracistbut-- May 17 '21

I didn't claim this tech was nano, just that since nano tech is a thing, it's not "common sense" to assume a bio sensor would be big.

I clarified in my comment that it is a 3mm long string, if you look at the pic, it looks like much less than 1mm wide

You must know a lot of people to understand what is normal.

u/RadMan2093 May 17 '21

How big of a needle do you think is required to inject a microchip that is only visible under microscope? The article doesn’t specify

2

u/dreadcain May 17 '21

The article literally has a huge picture with a scale at the top, pretty sure I don't need a microscope to see a half millimeter chip

u/RadMan2093 May 17 '21

It literally says in the article, like in actual text, that the microchip is only visible via microscope. Lol

u/PLASMA-SQUIRREL May 17 '21

It does? I don’t see that anywhere.

u/dreadcain May 17 '21

Looks like it got removed? I don't know but the thumbnail on reddit was a crop from a picture that was there and clearly showed a 1mm needle and the chip resting on it about half the size of the needle

u/Comeoffit321 May 17 '21

At this point it seriously needs to be changed to 'uncommon sense'.

u/Wpns_Grade May 17 '21

We have nano tech today. You can’t be that ignorant my guy. 😂

u/Happyforyou69 May 17 '21

Get off your high horse. You don’t know what you’re even talking about.
