Several videos on social media claimed that the COVID-19 vaccine might contain chips that track and control recipients. Vaccine distribution did involve chips, but what is it used for?
In one of the viral videos in May 2020, a narrator talked about the COVID-19 vaccines containing chips that could possibly change a person's behavior. It became viral again in December when distribution started.
BBC recognized these claims as something people feared since the videos said the chips could change a person's DNA.
