The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is working on creating an implantable microchip that would monitor the human body for signs of the coronavirus. DARPA wants to take pandemics off the table. COVID-19 has infected more than 250,000 U.S. Defense Department personnel and their dependents around the world.
Tissue-Like Gel in the Skin
Tissue chip development is one of the rapidly growing areas in biomedical sciences. On the 60 Minutes Show, Retired U.S. Colonel Matthew (Matt) Hepburn, an army infectious disease physician heading up DARPA’s response to the pandemic, held up a vial of green tissue-like gel which contained the chip. On the show, Hepburn said “That tiny green thing in there, you put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow.”
“It’s like a ‘check engine’ light,” Hepburn added. Hepburn joined DARPA as a program manager in 2013 and aims to address the dynamic threats of emerging infectious diseases with potential impact on national security.
Hepburn also revealed that DARPA has developed a filter to remove the virus from the blood through a dialysis machine, and that the FDA has approved it, and it has already been used on 300 patients.

As I mentioned in my earlier comment DARPA has developed a chip to detect covid19 in the body.

This isn't a vaccine with a chip, it is a container with a chip.

Why would personal surveillance have to be upgraded considering our current CCTV capabilities?
Also the fact is we are already chipped with the smartphones 99% of us carry around in our pockets that have the capability to record everything we say and do online never mind everyday life.
Who's firmware and software they can update at will, and where the technology is upgraded ever two years with each new phone.
