Swedish company puts a NFC chip with the Covid pass under the skin

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Did anybody stop to think how this could become a "I told you so" moment for the tinfoil hatters? They will milk the hell out of it.

On a more rational side: do we really want this, considering all the fails with QR vaxx passports so far? Replacing this is not trivial, as opposed to a paper slip.

I agree but a NFC Covid-19 pass under the skin it would be useful these days, after you can always re-program it other functions.

By the way Swedish people are already using (a lot compared to other states) under skin NFC chips. So for us it could be weird (and it is), but for Swedish it’s less.

At this point are they still considered tinfoil hatters ? Someone in my entourage was talking about COVID chip last year and I was telling myself "this is nuts, too far fetched", but here we come.
