Re: VeriChip shares jump - H1N1 RFID chip patent approved :(
Y'all are getting way ahead of yourselves.
There is not going to be a mandatory swine flu vaccine. This chip may or may not be in it.
However, what will happen is certain subsets of the population will be marketed to for this chip such as the elderly, and the young, or others with compromised immune systems more susceptible to a pandemic virus.
After a period of time, maybe a few years, maybe 10 years, maybe longer.. the line defining the middle point between the very young and the elderly will blur and people in the middle will start getting the chip, because by this time uses for it will have expanded. In addition to detecting deadly viruses, this RFID device will be used in place of carrying a wallet full of debit and credit cards. It may be used for starting your car instead of carrying keys, maybe it would even be useful for gaining entry into secure entry points such as military bases, or secured office buildings.
For a while at least, there will always be the option of doing things the old fashioned way with keys, credit cards, ID cards, etc.
As more and more people become comfortable with, and accustomed to, the ease and simplicity of this "new" way of life businesses will slowly, at first, begin phasing out accepting credit and debit cards that you swipe, automobile manufacturers will stop producing vehicles with key ignitions, the military will stop producing IDs, and so on and so on.
Then, life as we know it will be impossible without us all having this RFID placed inside of us.
That all being said, there is still time to do something about it... in the short term.
We may be able to defeat things this time, maybe the next time too. However, with each battle there will be a smaller and smaller army of resistance. The imperial powers will not go away as they have an agenda to fulfill.
I cannot even begin to predict when this will be a way of life with how fast things are changing faster and faster. Maybe 15 to 25 years???
