Bill Gates launches micro-patch implants to serve as "vaccination passport" for entry into public and commercial buildings

What is real / partially real​

1. Quantum-dot “tattoo” via microneedle patches has been studied in lab settings
   Researchers have developed a method to embed near-infrared quantum dots (NIR QDs) under the skin using dissolvable microneedle patches. These dots are invisible to the naked eye but detectable by specialized imaging (e.g. an adapted smartphone) in near-infrared wavelengths. OSTI+4PMC+4STAT+4
   In their study, the quantum dot patterns remained detectable for at least 9 months in rats, and the dots did not degrade under simulated sunlight exposure over time. PubMed+2PMC+2
   The authors explicitly propose this as a way to “encode medical history on a patient,” for example to record vaccination history. PubMed+2STAT+2
2. Funding and research into microneedle patches (including for mRNA delivery) is ongoing
   The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded grants to support microneedle patch technologies, including patches designed to deliver vaccines (including potentially mRNA formulations) and to improve thermostability (i.e., reduce cold-chain requirements). Gates Foundation+4Gates Foundation+4Reuters+4
   For example, LTS — a company that works on microneedle array patches — received a $1.2 million grant to develop thermostable mRNA formulations for microneedle patches. LTS+1
   Also, UConn researchers (with Gates funding) are developing microneedle array patches capable of delivering multiple vaccines. UConn Today+1

What is speculative or unproven​

1. mRNA delivery using microneedle patches
   While preclinical research suggests it may be possible to adapt microneedle patches to deliver mRNA-based vaccines (or vaccines that use nucleic acids) with improved stability, these are still in development phases, not in large-scale human deployment. Medical Device Network+2LTS+2
   The idea is promising, especially for increasing vaccine access in low-resource settings, but translation to safe, approved human-use products is a long process.
2. Permanent “marking” under the skin
   In the experiments, the quantum dots are designed to remain in place for extended periods (months) so the pattern can still be read. But "permanent" is an exaggeration; degradation, immune response, or shifting over years are unknowns. The researchers do not claim it as a permanent implant in humans, and they emphasize further safety testing is needed. Johns Hopkins University+3MIT News+3STAT+3
   The quantum dot pattern is effectively a “record” localized under the skin, but it does not contain personal identity information, geolocation, or tracking capability by itself. The researchers emphasize that it is an on-patient record (i.e. you must physically image it) rather than a remote tracking system. PMC+3STAT+3PubMed+3

What is false or highly misleading in the original claim​

1. “Human testing has already begun”
   There is no credible evidence that quantum-dot tattooing via microneedle patches has entered human trials in any widespread or approved form. The published experiments are in animals (rats) or ex vivo human skin, not live human volunteers. Johns Hopkins University+3PubMed+3STAT+3
   The claim that “human testing has begun” is an assertion with no credible support in scientific literature or public regulatory records.
2. “They leave a permanent quantum dot marking under your skin”
   As noted, the word “permanent” is misleading. The experiments show long-term detectability in controlled settings, but long-term safety, stability, or irreversibility in humans is unproven.
3. “These patches could soon be required for entry into stores, gyms, travel, and more”
   There is no policy, regulation, or credible proposal anywhere that mandates such patches as a condition for access to everyday venues. That part is speculative, conspiratorial, or purely hypothetical fear mongering.
4. Implies a tracking / surveillance / “biological vaccine passport” function
   The scientific work under discussion is about storing a medical record on the patient in the skin, not enabling remote tracking or tying that record to a global digital identity system. Claims that this is a “vaccine passport” in the sense of forced control or surveillance go beyond what the published work proposes or supports. Fact-checkers have explicitly debunked similar conspiracy claims. FactCheck.org+2Africa Check+2
   For example, a claim that COVID-19 vaccines would leave an invisible quantum-dot mark to enforce immunity passports has been debunked. Africa Check+1

Bottom line​

• The core idea — embedding a near-infrared quantum-dot “tattoo” under the skin via microneedle patches that can be scanned to record vaccination history — is real and has been demonstrated in lab/animal settings.
• But many details in the claim are false or unverified: human deployment, required usage for access to public life, permanent immutable marking, etc.
• There is no credible evidence of any such system being in human use or being mandated.

Incidentally I loved The Exorcist.

There's nothing more Catholic than a good old Satanic horror movie and in that particular film the priests are the heros, of course.

The scene in that movie that bugged everyone out wasn't the final exorcism scenes but the spinal tap scene.
