"Day 33: Problematic symptoms developing in Patient X. Current fluctuations from the implant are causing unwanted signals in the somatosensory cortex. The patient is expressing aggressive behavior as a result, presumably due to the interference of the implant on normal sensory function. It is unknown what is causing the fluctuations.
Day 45: Patient X sedated following a violent outburst that injured a staff member. fMRI scans indicate an uptick in activity in the premotor cortex compared to the previous scan four days ago. Patient X not responding well to the Brain-Computer Interface. Violent aggression may not be consciously controllable.
Day 46: Patient X escaped Secure Room Alpha. Lockdown initiated. Quarantine measures are now in effect. There is a loud banging on the lab door. This might be my last journal entry. Before I leave this Earth, please let the shareholders know I created value for them."
The right wingers were not angry about microchips in the blood. They were angry about secret, non-consensual, microchips in the blood.
Please don’t make me say these stupid disclaimers: I don’t think covid vaccines contain microchips.
Anyway, it was about consent, not a moral outrage at implanted chips. A moral outrage at secret microchips implanted by government directive under cover of emergency powers.

i remember rightwingers, the same who praise elon musk lately, screamed for months about implanting chips during covid vaccinations. oh the irony.

And that wasn’t even real. They howled about a fake scenario, and then praise the actual event happening.
Security Log day 42: Our request for a proper security door was denied. “Just buy a master lock, it’s cheaper” was the reply.
Oh well, I’ll make something work. Right after my quick meeting with HR.
