Microsoft's HealthVault, the medical records database, is to be integrated with VeriMed's human-embedded RFID tags, allowing doctors to access the medical records of unconscious patients with a quick scan of the arm.

VeriMed consists of an RFID tag that is embedded in the arm of a hopefully willing participant, and responds with a 16-digital identity code when queried at 134KHz. This code can then be used to identify the person through VeriChip's website, and will soon be able to link to their medical records as stored on Microsoft's HealthVault system.

"VeriMed adds an exciting RFID-based option for HealthVault users trying to keep themselves and their families safe," says Sean Nolan, the chief architect for HealthVault, quoted in RFID Journal. If you're excited about the idea of being electronically indexed then this is probably the technology for you.

Seems that we are now one step closer to The Beast...

One of the reasons I am against Government healthcare.... once you have no choice, how hard is it to say this type of thing is "mandatory".

Ahhh... I see. RFID chips for safety and security post- 9/11 didn't work now it's to help with medical records... Very interesting.... They just keep remolding the same pitch till the populace swallows it don't they?

Like everything else that comes from MS, you can be modified...........

My Wife adopted two cats from a shelter that required chips which they put in the cats neck. One developed cancer at the exact location of one of the chips and had to be put down. He started drooling blood and suffered greatly.

I contacted the shelter which is run by the Humane Society about the safety of the chips and they refused to respond. They still require them. The Vet won't even talk about it.

At the time this happened, about 13 months ago, I found articles saying that the fact these cause cancer was hidden by the company that manufactures them.

After seeing this, I'm going to get aggressive with the Humane Society to get them to tell me how many animals are developing cancer at the site of the chip. I imagine they will refuse again but if these are going into humans, their knowledge could save lives.

The cancer was described to me as being 100% fatal and very rare but the Vet did not want to talk about whether the chip caused it. He was so freaked by it that he paid for extensive lab tests out of his own pocket. Since when does a Veterinarian spend hundreds on tests out of their pocket without the customer asking for it? I think I know why?

If anyone reading this is involved with the Humane Society could you see if they have data on this. When they start putting these in humans, anyone who knows the danger and does not speak up will be partly to blame for any death and suffering.

Why? Because he's concerned or because he's a reptilian?

I think I know why?

Mice Studies Show RFID Chips Cause Cancer.



Chip Implants Linked to Animal Tumors.



Our cat developed a malignant tumor at the exact site of the implanted chip.

Lab testing that was ignored verified this.

The top dog who made the approval of their use in Humans is now employed by the company who manufactures them.

Need I say more?

Good point. What are the health concerns involved in this? have they been studied? can they make something unhealthy mandatory?

Brings up alot of interesting questions...

They put flouride in the water don't they?
They allow GM foods on the shelves, so can they make something unhealthy mandatory?, I would have to say "yes"

www.foxnews.com...

wouldn't it be much easier to just:

use a device such as on the link above.
scan what's already in us.
convert that to a unique hash or id#.
link that to the required data.
save it to a database.
?

next time they want to know anything, just scan your hand.

we already have sim cards, credit cards, id cards, cell phones, etc, which we carry with us at all times and can be linked to information about us at any time or can even be used to track us from a remote location and we're already ok with that.

why do they always want to stick something in us? damn!

which also brings up msg and aspertame...

if we dont do something about this, it WILL continue...

Obligatory Microsoft jokes aside, this is the part that has me worried:



Does anyone see shades of the "vaccination at gunpoint" debacle, but on a much grander scale?

Thats exactly what im saying. And whats with the "hopefully willing"? Thats just plain scary...

I can just see it. Somewhere someone will install a copy of MS Office or some other MS app. Little do they know that buried in the EULA will be a line that gives MS permission to chip them come heck or high water.

Actually that type of duplicity wouldn't surprise me in the least.

another good point.

what if a virus or "central command protocal" were in place?

I bet someone will make latex glove copies of other people's handprints and scam.

also.. how do you pay the hospital after you had to get an emergency dual hand amputation?

huuh huhhh??

I wonder if they could even get away with this. Are our laws so lax right now that this could happen (BE happening) currently, without our knowledge? And what about the legalities of the information gleaned and involved?
