MYTH : Covid vaccines make you arm magnetic 🧲 💉
One of the many Covid-19 vaccine myths is that it will make you magnetic, including at the site of vaccination which is usually your arm. FAKE NEWS! ❌
FACT : WHO, CDC and DOH already clarified that COVID-19 vaccines do not contain ingredients that can produce an electromagnetic field at the site of your injection. All COVID-19 vaccines are free from metals.
Beyond the lack of magnetic materials in the vaccines themselves, our bodies doesn’t attract magnetic objects, doctors explained. Accordingly, our blood does contains some iron, but it is not magnetizable iron. Medical experts cleared up that the iron in our blood is susceptible to magnetism, meaning it is not able to create or interact with an electromagnetic force field. ✔️
We might see video circulating on different social media platforms making it look like magnets are sticking to their arm, but doctors told it’s because of natural oil and sweat called “sebum” that’s made by sebaceous glands that can be sticky. Remember that childhood game “PISO OR COIN CHALLENGE FROM FOREHEAD TO MOUTH”? 😉
