Quantum dot tattoo vaccine marker

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of quantum dot tattoo vaccine markers, which serve as a biomarker for vaccination status. This technology utilizes nanoscale semiconductor particles known as quantum dots, which exhibit luminescent properties. The articles referenced highlight the potential of this method while also addressing the conspiracy theories surrounding vaccines and tracking. The term "quantum" refers to the quantum mechanics that describe the behavior of these particles, although its relevance to the technology is questioned by participants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum dots and their properties
  • Familiarity with vaccination technologies
  • Knowledge of biomarker applications in healthcare
  • Awareness of conspiracy theories related to vaccination
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the applications of quantum dots in medical technology
  • Explore the ethical implications of biomarker tracking in vaccinations
  • Investigate the scientific basis of conspiracy theories related to vaccines
  • Learn about advancements in nanoscale semiconductor technology
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for healthcare professionals, vaccine researchers, and individuals interested in the intersection of technology and public health, particularly regarding vaccination tracking methods.

Hey, I found these interesting articles about a proposed way of vaccinating people while also applying a biomarker on them which would help remember one's vaccination status.
https://news.rice.edu/2019/12/18/quantum-dot-tattoos-hold-vaccination-record/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7532118/

Now I think this is also the source for the many conspiracy theories about the vaccine and it being used as tracking/chips etc.
Also I can't figure out why it has the word "quantum" in the title because as far as I am aware there doesn't seem to be anything regarding quantum physics involved here.

A "quantum dot" is a nanoscale semiconductor particle that has luminescent properties that are described by quantum mechanics.
