There is NO tracking CHIP inside the COVID-19 vaccine | Is This Legit?

There has been a LOT of vaccine misinformation circulating the web, including the claim that there is a tracking chip INSIDE the COVID-19 vaccine (not true!) While there is an RFID CHIP on the *outside* of the syringe -- this is to track the vaccines, NOT people. In this episode of 'Is This Legit?' we talk about how YouTube titles and descriptions -- like news headlines -- can easily change our perception of a video before we watch it.
The video we fact-check featured a reliable source and accurate information. Unfortunately, its click-baity title misled many viewers.

Watch this video for a more in-depth breakdown on how not to fall victim to misleading titles.

I wish there was a way to stop people from just believing everything they see at a glance. Thank you for helping to educate people on how to check for the facts!

It's very careless of a company involved with the distribution and administration of the vaccine to use the term "microchip" without being very specific in terms of how it relates to the vaccine itself. Even after watching your fact check it is still unclear that the chip is being used on THE OUTSIDE OF THE SYRINGE unless one reads the video description.
Those 5 words alone clear up the entire debate.

The point was has options to add a chip if wanted. Why would anyone even want that option. Even if it is specific for that injection, for date and lot number information on a specific vaccine. Just the fact that it was even a thought is worrisome for some people. Just my opinion.

Maybe not the vaccine itself, but the FDA approved Digi pill does so you can track when your next booster shot is due perhaps?
