Did the Associated Press review only three articles as Mr. Silverman claimed?
No. Although Scott Silverman erroneously claimed in his Business Week article that the Associated Press reviewed just three studies,22 the AP actually reviewed eight studies linking microchip implants to cancer.23 Six of the reviewed articles reported that laboratory mice and rats had developed malignant tumors around microchip implants, and two additional articles reported that dogs had developed cancer surrounding or attached to implants.
