During a hearing at Ohio House Thursday, a nurse tried to prove a false theory that taking a COVID-19 vaccine makes a person “magnetized.”
Joanna Overholt tried to put a key and a small pin on her body in an attempt to prove that both would stick to her skin, although the attempt ultimately failed. Overholt was trying to testify to a widely circulated conspiracy theory by Sherry Tenbeni, a Cleveland district physician and anti-vaccine activist, who also testified before Ohio lawmakers.
“Explain why the key stuck to me,” Overholt said during the hearing. In a video of her testimony, she held the key to her for about three seconds before she removed it.
“It stuck to my neck, too,” she added, though she failed to keep it. I also tried making a bobby pin wand, although that also failed.
Overholt testified in favor of the proposed Enact Vaccine Choice Act and Anti-Discrimination Act, which the Ohio Capital Journal reports would prohibit anyone from mandating or requiring people to take a vaccine, including the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Washington Post reported that Tenpenny also distributed false claims that the vaccine could “interact” with 5G cell towers.
On the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) page regarding vaccine myths and facts, the CDC says that a vaccine cannot make you magnetized.
The CDC says, “Receiving a COVID-19 vaccine will not make you magnetized, including at the vaccination site which is usually your arm. COVID-19 vaccines do not contain components that can produce an electromagnetic field at the injection site.” “All COVID-19 vaccines are free of metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, lithium and rare earth alloys, as well as any manufactured products such as microelectronics, electrodes, carbon nanotubes, and semiconductor nanotubes.”
