The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has funded skin implants (microneedle patches) that deliver permanent quantum dots to verify vaccination status
The authors of the Gates-funded study note that the quantum dot 'markings' should persist for at least 5 years. The quantum dots (S10C5H QDs encapsulated in poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres) can be detected with adapted smartphones for use in real-world settings.
Quantum dot implants would be used as biological vaccine passports, where their detection in human skin would be required to enter grocery stores, restaurants, gyms, and to travel.
