Pentagon actually made the Co-Vid Microchip

Not really. While animal chipping has been around long enough that it was a given they might someday use it on some humans for one reason or another, most people who fear it and are convinced it's going to happen also seem to be grossly overestimating how special or interesting most of us even are or will ever be. There just isn't any real reason to want to spend the money on that for the average person.

Regular chips supposedly can't be tracked like GPS anyhow. Look at the ones they put on wild animals to actually track migrations, etc, those aren't regular chips and are an external device.

I could see temporary use in people there could actually be reason to keep track of, such as ex-felons, making it easier for cops to ID someone who is being stubborn and has a criminal history. Maybe our troops sent overseas -- IF GPS tracking of it is never a thing so it can't be abused by an enemy -- and will only contain personal data that's helpful in the unfortunate event of a bad injury or fatality. Things like that. Though that would still be questionable.

As for the average person? Nah. What point would there be in chipping me? They can scan it and see my dental records? What use is that.

If they want to keep tabs on people, esp in GPS use, they can already do it via their phones anyhow, since few dare to ever leave the house without it.
