Microchip implants ready for use with swine flu vaccine!!!

A Florida-based company that boasts selling the world's first and only federally approved radio microchip for implanting in humans is now turning its
development branch toward "emergency preparedness," hoping to produce an implant that can automatically detect in its host's bloodstream the
presence of swine flu or other viruses deemed a "bio-threat."
VeriChip Corporation currently sells a small, under-the-skin Radio Frequency Identification capsule, or RFID, that patients can opt to have implanted,
containing a number computer-linked to their medical records, enabling doctors with a special reader to access the information even if the patient is
unconscious or unidentified. The company boasts its microchip, roughly the size of a grain of rice, is the only such implant approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration.
But VeriChip has also turned its attention to other uses for the technology, including microchips that be used to tag and log human remains after a
disaster and implants the company hopes will be able to warn if their host is infected with the H1N1 swine flu virus, the H5N1 bird flu virus or other
pandemic agents deemed to be a "bio-threat."
VeriChip is working with a Minnesota company, Receptors LLC, to develop the virus-detection technology.
"As we continue to build on our partnership with Receptors, which started with the development of a glucose-sensing RFID implantable microchip, we
are moving beyond patient identification to sensors that can detect and identify illnesses and viruses such as influenza," said Scott R. Silverman,
chairman of VeriChip, in a statement. "This is an exciting next step for the future of our healthcare division."
According to a joint white paper released earlier this year by both companies called "An Integrated Sensor System for the Detection of Bio-Threats
from Pandemics to Emerging Diseases to Bio-Terrorism," the research's goal is to transform existing glucose-detection technology into pinpointing
viruses instead, then couple it with an "in vivo" – meaning implanted inside a living organism – microchip that can alert others of the virus'
presence.
The ultimate goal is to develop an implant that can also diagnose which virus is infecting the host.
VeriChip has also announced earlier this month additional forays into emergency preparedness through its VeriTrace system.
According to a statement, the company sold a VeriTrace system, including 1,000 RFID microchips, to Kentucky's Green River District Health Department
"for disaster preparedness and emergency management needs."
The company explains that VeriTrace, a separate system from its virus detection or patient records technology, was created in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina, where it was used by the Federal Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team. The system includes the microchips, a Bluetooth
handheld reader, a customized camera that receives both RFID scanned data and GPS data wirelessly and a web-based database for storing information and
images captured during emergency response operations.
The microchips are implanted in human remains following a disaster or, according to one report from the Katrina catastrophe, duct-taped to bones, in
order to maintain detailed records, particularly in events that result in hundreds or thousands of fatalities.
"This database ensures the precise collection, storage and inventory of all data and images related to remains and the associated evidentiary
items," the statement boasts. "This also allows the recreation of an accurate and complete reconstruction of a disaster setting, crime scene or
similar setting where recreation is necessary."
There it is.
