These studies "show" no such thing
While they may be suggestive, these studies were not designed to test whether implanted chips actually cause cancer, and NONE of them included any control groups that had either inert objects of the same composition or nothing at all implanted. Lacking that, any statistics on the numbers of mice who did get cancer are without context and useless as proof of anything. Properly controlled studies are certainly worth doing in this case, but until those data are in, this judgement is extremely premature.
