A video that has been viewed more than 15 million times on TikTok and shared on Facebook claims to indicate a microchip in the arm of a person who received a COVID-19 vaccine.
The clip focuses on a woman at an Ohio veterinary clinic who says to someone off camera, "Look what I just figured out, Justine," as she scans one arm with a microchip reader for pets. The scanner shows nothing until the reader is pointed toward her "vaccinated arm" and a series of numbers appear on the device.
This video is fake. According to Factcheck.org, "A list of the ingredients used in COVID-19 vaccines is publicly available, and the ingredients don't include microchips."
