This could make for a cool party trick, but it’s not at all related to your recent shot.
Most people are aware that there are some unusual rumors floating around about the COVID-19 vaccine, like that it will torpedo your fertility or that the vaccine is all a plan by Bill Gates to microchip everyone (both of those are entirely false, by the way). But here’s anther one with staying power that could use some clearing up: Some people claim that the COVID-19 vaccine will make a magnet stick to your arm.
People on TikTok have been sharing videos of themselves with magnets stuck to their arms and bodies after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. “When your coworker gets the shot and magnets stick to her arm,” TikTok user @pretty_gdimples wrote in the caption of one TikTok. In the video, you can see a magnet sticking to someone as a person in the background says, “How do you feel having a microchip in you?…We told you not to get that sh*t.”
She’s not the only one floating around this claim-the hashtag #covidvaccinemagnet has about 4.5 million views on TikTok with users doing some variation of the same thing.
Luckily, some of the people posting those videos are trying to debunk the “challenge,” like anesthesiologist Magnolia Printz, MD (@balancedanesthsia). She shared a video of herself attempting to stick a series of Magformer magnetic toys to the the arm where she received her Pfizer vaccine. (Spoiler alert: They all fell to the ground.)
Where did people come up with the idea that a COVID shot would make a magnet stick to your arm?
It’s hard to say for sure where is started, but magnet idea definitely took off on TikTok, with people both “proving” and disproving that this is a thing.
It seems as though people see this as “proof” that the COVID-19 vaccine somehow functioned as a way to microchip recipients. But this claim has been refuted time and again. The New York Times specifically tackled the false claim, citing the actual ingredients in Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine, and it didn’t contain any ingredients that even remotely suggested the presence of a microchip. The same goes for the Moderna vaccine, Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot vaccine, or any of the other vaccines being used in other countries.
