Pictured Microchip is Unrelated to COVID-19 Vaccine

In a May 12 press release, Columbia announced researchers had developed a medical microchip. At 0.1 cubic millimeters, the researchers report the device is the smallest single-chip system of its kind and can be injected with a hypodermic needle. 
Misbar's investigation revealed that the device has not yet been approved for human use. The COVID-19 vaccine is not being used to secretly microchip recipients.

We rate the circulating claim as misleading.
