Specialized dye, delivered along with a vaccine, could enable “on-patient” storage of vaccination history.

#3The tech sounds really cool. But cant help but feel its going to be a a privacy nightmare. Also, just like how fingerprints are a weak signature, imagine people trying to use this chip's signature as a means to sign for something.

#6As someone who values their privacy and anonymity I don't like this. I don't want records or identifiers embedded in my body, full stop.
> the medical record is stored and controlled by the patient within the patient’s skin
Can the patient remove or alter it? If not I don't feel like it's accurate to say they "control" it.
>the patches deliver a pattern in the skin that is invisible to the naked eye but can be scanned with a smartphone that has the infrared filter removed.
So any attacker can pull up your vaccination history (in theory your identity depending on what is imprinted in the dots) with a drive-by attack that requires nothing more sophisticated than a cellphone camera? That is exactly the opposite of how I want my medical records secured.

#7It's amazing the lengths the medical industry will go to avoid simply giving patients their digital medical history on a flash drive. And here I thought requiring a faxed request, arbitrary waiting period, printing the records onto dead trees, scanning them back in, and burning a CD to mail made for a large moat!
"We can't trust you to keep vital information about your own body, so we'll literally just print it into your skin in a way you can't even read". Is it possible to be any more paternalistic?

I don't want medical records stored in a place I can't control.
I've already read here that whatever you disclose with a request to be off the records, goes IN the record with a note "the patient said that was to be off the record"
So I don't play along.
