The Newest Know Nothing Conspiracy Theory: COVID 19 Vaccines Make People Magneto

 Just when you think you have heard them all a physician (yes really) called Sherri Tenpenny said at a June 8, 2021 committee hearing in the Ohio State Legislature that:

"The COVID-19 vaccines make people magnetized. They can put a key on their forehead, it sticks. They can put spoons and forks all over them, and they can stick."

The above clip could easily be mistaken for something out of Saturday Night Live.

Unfortunately, this was real.

Suffice it to say, this claim is false.

Unfortunately, this physician, according to Politifact, is one of 12 people responsible for 65 percent of the disinformation on COVID vaccines in social media.

She is also responsible for spreading false narratives that Coronavirus vaccines would "cause death and autoimmune disease, disrupt pregnancies and "shed" to affect unvaccinated people."

Not to be outdone, an Ohio Nurse also tried to demonstrate that she was magnetic at the same Committee hearing. While she was able to get a bobby pin to stick to her chest (probably because of sweat,) it did not work when she tried to repeatedly stick the pin on her neck.

This scene to you would think came out of a Saturday Night Live skit.

Unfortunately, like the earlier clip with Tenpenny, it is something that really happened.

Just to be clear.

COVID 19 vaccinations will not make you Magneto.

These members of the medical community and others like them are acting dangerously by spreading these know-nothing falsehoods.

This nation needs to get everyone vaccinated from the Coronavirus.

Having yutzes like these two spin such conspiracy theory bull fecal matter only puts people at health risk by scaring them not to get the medical care they may need.

Do not listen to them.

They are not reputable.

Perhaps their mental stability should also be questioned as well.
