Microsoft wants to get under your skin with veri med!

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.

Not that the future of VeriMed is in any way certain, despite the Microsoft link. The company's parent, VeriChip, has already tried to sell off the human-implanting part of the business as punters prove remarkably reluctant to be serial-numbered. Should the business fail entirely, a connection to HealthVault could be the best hope for the poor souls who've already succumbed to having chips embedded in their arms. ®

Here comes the 'cashless society' they want to usher in because 'money caused the credit crisis of 2009'.

Think its a big leap? Icke many years ago said it would be first for health, then for wealth, and then for oppression.

I just cannot see why the people cannot see the mile high writing on the walls.

I personally know a young man, 19 years old, who doesn't mind being chipped. he thinks that in this way it will be safer for everybody.Any kind of crime under control, this is how he understands that.

a teacher talks to her class of 15 year olds about this and the emphasis was on 'if i got kidnapped the police would find me because of the chip in the arm'.
Teacher said 'yes but criminals have axes and chainsaws'.

you could of heard a pin drop till one genius piped up;

'well I will have one in my head too' and most of the class agreed.

Unreal! you know what, I'll let them chip me if that's what I have to do and can't get away, then I'll have a few drinks later and cut it out with a knife! problem solved! HeHe.

Microchipping the populus is Big Brother syndrome, pure and simple!

Not me, no way.. NEVER!

you forgot the word 'voluntary'

In the Netherlands now all new cars must be equipped with a FRID, in case of an 'accident"
They always introduce with 'good reason', like they introduced blocking of credit card for child porno abusers, everybody agrees not realizing it's the first sheep and so many years later they cannot use their card unless they first pay their parking ticket. But I'm talking to the choir here.
