how many times a day were they pinging the chip and from how far away???

“The FDA is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, which, at the time of VeriChip’s approval, was headed by Tommy Thompson. Two weeks after the device’s approval took effect on Jan. 10, 2005, Thompson left his Cabinet post, and within five months was a board member of VeriChip Corp. and Applied Digital Solutions. He was compensated in cash and stock options.
Thompson, until recently a candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, says he had no personal relationship with the company as the VeriChip was being evaluated, nor did he play any role in FDA’s approval process of the RFID tag.
“I didn’t even know VeriChip before I stepped down from the Department of Health and Human Services,” he said in a telephone interview.”
Both of our last two dogs died early of cancer. Both had the chip.
Similarly, I'm sure, no one will recall the world-famous, award-winning toxicologist from the University of California at Berkeley who has researched carcinogens for decades, Bruce Ames, who clearly makes a distinction between the sensitivity levels of rats and mice and higher order mammals.
This is not entirely new ground by any means.

....... does that come with a bridge?
Sounds conclusive to me!
Were they related?
Anything can cause cancer....even water.
Lest we forget age as a cause if one is blessed with becoming aged.
Were they related?
LOL!
Furthermore, none of our mice died and none of them were chipped.
Hey, it’s data. Got something against data?
Nope.
Your point being?
Great idea!
But it was just a question. Why do you believe a question necessarily has a point?
A friend of ours works at Ft Detrick and his job involves lab animals, exclusively.
As a pet rat owner, he has clarified many of the inherent health problems of my rats for me.
*Most* laboratory animals are ‘designed’ to be more [or, in some cases, less] genetically susceptible to whatever disease they are being used to research.
[think of it as a means of “time compression” to facilitate fast turnaround times to obtain desired research results]
There are many carefully bred and controlled “strains” of lab rats and mice, each with a different research purpose and biological/genetic disposition.
Most of these strains of lab animals are actually -patented- because of the predictability of their susceptibility to “[fill in the blank] disease”.
-Every- white [or dilute colored or predominantly white with spots] rat I’ve ever owned was obese, despite careful dietary management.
They are “programmed” to be obese because they are used primarily for obesity and cardiac studies.
The dark rats [ones that looked more like “real rats] had no obesity and much longer life spans.
Others are programmed for cancers, sometimes very specifically.
Test “results” based on these artificially created rodents do not really relate to the reality of human [or dog] disease ratios.
Microchips have been used in dogs for a very long time now and barring the previous problem with migration [a problem now “fixed”], there have been no untoward tendencies or spikes in correlated cancer rates for microchipped dogs.
There are, however, due to careless breeding programs, now many breeds with heavy tendencies to develop devastating cancers, Rottweilers and bone cancer, being just one case that comes to mind.
This “microchip mouse tumor revelation” first appeared in my email inbox back on October 2 of 2006.
It’s old news being recycled into a new panic meme.

I did dream of having an internet device in my brain so I can go online. In the dream my brain had been preserved and I was only able to communicate online.
Thompson = Mr. Chips
how many times a day were they pinging the chip and from how far away???
