Wait before you get implanted

[Songbird]

Kind of an eye-opener ...

When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved implanting microchips in humans, the manufacturer said it would save lives, letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients’ medical records almost instantly. The FDA found “reasonable assurance” the device was safe, and a sub-agency even called it one of 2005’s top “innovative technologies.”
But neither the company nor the regulators publicly mentioned this: A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating to the mid-1990s, stated that chip implants had “induced” malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats.
Leading cancer specialists reviewed the research and, while cautioning that animal test results do not necessarily apply to humans, said the findings troubled them. They urged further research before the glass-encased transponders are widely implanted in people.
To date, about 2,000 of the so-called radio frequency identification devices have been implanted in humans worldwide, according to VeriChip Corp. The company, which sees a target market of 45 million Americans for its medical monitoring chips, insists the devices are safe.
The FDA also stands by its approval of the technology.

I'm assuming this chip has solved that little problem.

 

[Songbird]

I think the chip may cause cancer.

I'm assuming this: "A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating to the mid-1990s, stated that chip implants had “induced” malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats." and what follows it, applies to previous chips and not this one. Since it doesn't say "this chip causes cancer."

"Hey, Doc, I'm not feeling too good. Can you scan me and see what's wrong?"

"Sorry, buddy, you've got cancer."

This is nothing but the New World Order, the Trilateralists, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderburgers and the Freemasons trying to force the Mark of the Beast on good, God-fearing people.

Too bad, having a microchip implanted in my body sounded like such a good idea ...

The run on tinfoil for the next few weeks is gonna be startling.

Alex Jones railed on this on his Web site, which is funny to read some days, though I haven't read it in a year.

I thought this was going to be about how women should be at least 21 before getting a boob job.
