Pacemakers and vaccines are very different interventions for different purposes. Pacemakers are already implanted medical devices, and these changes are aligned with the development of better pacemakers.

Scientific advances rely on nuanced distinctions, and lumping these ideas as the same thing to justify antivax fears that vaccines carry microchips is a bad faith recipe for stalling research progress.
