DISINFO: The US will start chipping all American citizens in October 2020

SUMMARY

In October 2020, the United States will introduce chips in all American citizens. This will happen with the delivery of the coronavirus vaccine. The Department of Defense and the Ministry of Health have signed with ApiJect a contract worth 138 million dollars through which the company in the medical industry will provide syringes (for the Covid-19 vaccine) equipped with an RFID tracking microchip!

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory, with no evidence provided to support the claim. This text shares the recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative about a Shadow Government of all-powerful groups ruling the world with the new element of Covid-19 as part of the ongoing disinformation campaign on the coronavirus. Indeed, according to a May 12 statement from the US Department of Defense, this institution and the US Department of Health and Human Services signed a $138 million contract with the international aseptic syringe company ApiJect Systems America. The partnership will allow the necessary volume of syringes to vaccinate a larger number of people to be available when the vaccine against COVID-19 is ready. The syringes will not have chips, but unique identification codes. In fact, the technology based on RFID radio frequency identification will allow real-time, remote tracking of vaccinations in the US at the national level, but does not involve implanting a chip or tracking people. The information will be collected to keep track of the number of people vaccinated, by region, which will allow health authorities to monitor the situation. Read further debunking on Stopfals.md.
