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.
