No, the COVID Vaccine Doesn't Make Forks and Spoons Stick to You

An anti-vaxxer testified to the Ohio statehouse that people are becoming magnetic after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. (They're not.)

In a bizarre hearing at the Ohio Statehouse, osteopath and anti-vaxxer Sherri Tenpenny, who has built a career around peddling disinformation about vaccines, testified in support of a bill that would prevent businesses or the government from requiring vaccinations.

Tenpenny, who happens to be Infowars’ Alex Jones’ favorite “expert” on vaccines, was especially worried about people getting forks and spoons stuck to them after getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

“I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures all over the internet of people who have had these shots and now they’re magnetized,” Tenpenny testified. “They can put a key on their forehead. It sticks. They can put spoons and forks all over them and they can stick, because now we think that there’s a metal piece to that.”

    Then why did I bother getting it!?

    And if we have vaccines that alter our DNA then why can’t I be my fursona?! 😡

    Seems like a positive thing, never lose your keys again, plus you can easily switch to bamboo based utensils!

      I have the opposite case. I make the keys to be lost, by taking them with me after finishing the journey. The no-one can open the doors in the the place. 😂😂😂

    My dad just went to the hospital for something unrelated to covid. The doctor told him that there has been dozens of people coming in with blood clots from the vaccine. And the nurse in charge of my dad won’t get it. This isn’t disinformation, this is direct information coming from a hospital.

          No? Especially not the people most at risk of covid. If they did, they’d know, because they’d either have been hospitalized or dead.

          Covid has been shown to have permanent effects in even young healthy people. I hope to god not everyone has caught it.

          1. No, in my state we sometimes mention the overall percent of people who had covid, and I’m pretty sure at last count less than 5% of the population had covid. I’m sure this is fairly consistent across the US at least.

          2. Catching covid does not provide enough immunity for future illnesses. You can catch it again, you can catch a stronger varient, there is talk about covid needing a seasonal vaccination like the flu.

          yes that’s literally how it works. Wear a mask, lower your chances of getting it. Most of the time the incidences weren’t even high, so chances weren’t very high either. You would prefer if incidences were high though…
