KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 16: Former Health Deputy Director-General (Medical) Datuk Dr Rohaizat Yon today stressed that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and does not contain any microchip that will control people’s minds.

Replying to host Jessy Chahal’s question on Bernama TV’s Mid-day Update programme regarding the conspiracy theory claiming that the vaccine contains such microchip, Dr Rohaizat said the messenger RNA (mRNA) being used for the vaccine development has been shown to be safe and efficacious.
