Is it true?

Can COVID-19 vaccines connect me to the internet?

COVID-19 vaccines do not – and cannot – connect you to the internet.

Some of the mRNA vaccines being developed include the use of a material called a hydrogel, which might help disperse the vaccine slowly into our cells.

Bioengineers have used similar hydrogels for many years in different ways. For instance, they've used them to help stem cells survive after being put inside our bodies.

Because of this, some people believe that hydrogels are needed for electronic implants, which can connect to the internet.

1. Are all questions about COVID-19 vaccines on the internet legitimate?

Not all questions about COVID-19 vaccines on the internet are legitimate. Most are, but many come from trolls, baiters, haters, crazies, pettifoggers, and RWNJ's.

In general, these hostile internet personality types should be avoided and their questions ignored.

4. Seems the Australian government felt the need to answer the question

Unfortunately ignoring the crazies hasn't been a good idea going on very recent events.

6. Only because we broke them up too soon

If we'd just been a bit more patient.

7. I first saw that movie as a kid

and I still think it's an intriguing idea.

TPC, baby!

3. Of course it's true. Fortunately it's neutralized by magnetism, static electricity, and now

May I present the *FOOLPROOF* method to neutralize the chip:

Spin in a circle clockwise three times, then stand on your head.

Don't do it counter-clockwise, I had a friend that did and now he just wanders around mumbling sensless phrases and staring into the distance, like he's waiting for something...

5. It could work

Here’s a bit from RFC 1149 which uses birds as the transport for Internet Protocol (IP)

A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers

Status of this Memo

This memo describes an experimental method for the encapsulation of IP datagrams in avian carriers. This specification is primarily useful in Metropolitan Area Networks.

This is an experimental, not recommended standard. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Overview and Rational

Avian carriers can provide high delay, low throughput, and low altitude service. The connection topology is limited to a single point-to-point path for each carrier, used with standard carriers, but many carriers can be used without significant interference with each other, outside of early spring. This is because of the 3D ether space available to the carriers, in contrast to the 1D ether used by IEEE802.3. The carriers have an intrinsic collision avoidance system, which increases availability. Unlike some network technologies, such as packet radio, communication is not limited to line-of-sight distance. Connection oriented service is available in some cities, usually based upon a central hub topology.

Frame Format

The IP datagram is printed, on a small scroll of paper, in
hexadecimal, with each octet separated by whitestuff and blackstuff. The scroll of paper is wrapped around one leg of the avian carrier. A band of duct tape is used to secure the datagram's edges. The bandwidth is limited to the leg length. The MTU is variable, and paradoxically, generally increases with increased carrier age. A typical MTU is 256 milligrams. Some datagram padding may be needed.

Upon receipt, the duct tape is removed and the paper copy of the datagram is optically scanned into a electronically transmittable form.

I’m sure you could encode a binary message using proteins. It might take a while to build the packets but that’s just a performance problem.
