CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - A woman who identified herself as a nurse practitioner student tried to defend an Ohio doctor’s unproven claim by proving she actually is magnetic after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine... Overholt used her time at the podium to try to defend a myth shared by Cleveland-area physician Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, who claimed that the COVID-19 vaccine leads to magnetism and causes metal objects to stick to the shot recipient’s body...During the demonstration, Overholt tried to prove Dr. Tenpenny’s point to be true by sticking a key and bobby pin to her skin at the hearing for the “Enact Vaccine Choice and Anti-Discrimination Act.”“Explain to me why the key sticks to me. It sticks to my neck, too,” Overholt said. “If somebody could explain this, that would be great.”Both objects fell off Overholt’s skin.

If only people knew more about science. Most keys are made of brass, which is not magnetic. Neither is most cutlery. End of debate.
ReplyDeleteWe know this, we'd be sticking keys on magnets all over the place. And cutlery as well. However, we don't recognize this knowledge when faced with a lunatic like this lady. I would love for someone on one of those panels to have made this point.
People are scared, I get it. COVID was such a huge shift in reality it broke some brains.... As an Ohioan, I'd like to say that Tenpenny, Jim Jordan, and these crazies are a vocal minority. The rest of us are doing our best to get ourselves and our neighbors safely through this. When I got vaccinated, the arena was full of overjoyed, double-masked people.
ReplyDeleteThis lady is getting way too much attention.
Can we just... revoke the licenses of any so-called 'medical professionals' that try to push this garbage? Immediately, if not sooner? There have GOT to be consequences for this kind of behavior!
ReplyDeletemost US keys are made of brass which is not magnetic. There are stainless keys too and most are not magnetic. And there are, rare in the USA, steel keys but the ones she is using appear to have cast patterns not stamped so are not likely a magnetic material.
