Yessiree Bob. Cleveland area physician Dr. Sherri Tenpenny has said so. I see this article refers to some of her statements from June. Have we covered this before? Too much to quote, so here is the article. In it I note she mentions photos on the Internet of people with forks and spoons attracted to their bodies. Damn, if that isn’t proof I don’t know what is. But wait, aren’t forks and spoons made of stainless steel which is non magnetic if the chrome content is high enough? I’ll guess that not too many conspiracy folks use real silver. It so happens I can add to this research. My wife is somewhat of a minor hoarder in very specific areas. She just can’t pass up a good buy on a dining room chair or small table at the thrift store. Or silverware. So our once full set of flatware has been expanded and diluted by dozens of mismatched pieces for me to test. By golly - over half of them are magnetic. I have both of my shots so I tried it. Sadly, they all fell to the floor to the delight of our dog who tried to do his own research on them. Maybe we can get Chronos to drive over and reason with her. Oh, by the way, the nice looking women at the lead of the article is not the doctor. She appears later on. > **[She says vaccines make you magnetized.

My mother keeps touting this vaccine-magnet hoax. I have already supplied links to debunk it but she just doubles down all the harder. ---

Just ask the nutters to stick something to their head or arm . . . than ask how’d they get the item to no longer stick to their fingers. ---

Osteopathic physician Sherri Tenpenny is a longtime antivax loon who was promoting dangerous antivax nonsense (including discouraging measles vaccination) long before the Covid-19 pandemic. She was on the speaker’s list for the 2016 “Conspira-Sea Cruise” along with fellow “autism expert” Andrew Wakefield. The Conspira-Sea cruise featured informative talks on: _“GMOs, Monsanto, bee colony collapse, ecology, global warming, climate change, fracking, HIV, autism, big pharma, medical suppression, vaccinations, flouridation, political corruption, government corruption, forbidden archeology, forbidden religion, Federal Reserve, truth about money, World Bank, IRS, strawman, property title, admiralty law, martial law, Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, JFK, cover-ups, September 11, Star Wars agenda, nuclear plants, chemtrails, HAARP, crop circles, IRS, MK-Ultra, Fukashima, NASA, NSA, Bilderbergs, sustainability, military industrial complex, pentagon, Waco, Malaysia 370, Pan Am 103, TWA 800, Gulf Oil Spill, Halliburton, Obama, Ruby Ridge, OK City, Vatican, New World Order, false flags, Montauk, privacy, surveillance, Area 51, Dulce, Project Rainbow, Nazi Bell, Vrill, U.S.S. Eldridge, Iron Mountain, psyops, population mangement, subliminal ads, Nibiru / Planet X, Cointel Pro, technology suppression, entity possession, electoral fraud, identity chips, 2nd amendment, and so much more.”_ \*the pandemic put a dent in Divine Travels’ cruise schedule, but they are hoping to put on a Conspira-Sea and UFO cruise to Hawaii in October 2022. ---

This seems to be a good place to post a video (with a transpcript for those who’d rather read) and what I learned from it: > **[The Long History of People Who Think They’re Magnetic](https://skepchick.org/2021/06/the-long-history-of-people-who-think-theyre-magnetic/)** > > Two months ago, I received my one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine. I felt a little sleepy the next day, and then I was fine. OR SO I THOUGHT. Because little did I know, my vaccine gave me MAGNETIC… What I learned is that this isn’t a new thing. It’s a bit of woo coopting the antivax movement. The Amazing (James) Randi himself debunked people who seemed to genuinely believe they were magnetic. It’s just that unwashed skin (like the kind you may have during a pandemic when you don’t go out as much) has this oily substance called sebum, which can be sticky. So these people who were vaccinated see a video saying to try sticking stuff to themselves, which they don’t expect to work. It does, and that’s the “proof” that they’re magnetic. (This is an aspect of critical thinking we need to teach: you should try to falsify something, like try it on someone who isn’t vaccinated.) It even explains that one lady who talked about it in the Ohio state legislature was both so confident it would work, but had it fail. She probably got all cleaned up before going. ---

I am starting to doubt all the stories. I don’t get 5G or Bill Gates in my head, I haven’t become one with the AI overmind and now I can’t even get magnetized so I stop dropping needles. Magnetic fingers would really help with fishing dropped needles out from under things but nooooo. Are my Moderna shots even working? I feel so deprived! ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > Actually, it makes a little sense. I manage to repulse anybody I’m attracted to. Must be Science. You must reverse the [polarity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDaCMhKPGys)! To be frank, I did not work for me either: not after the first jab (no change apparent), nor after the second (some sweat, but not the sticky sort). Now, after two weeks I am supposedly fully charged but I don’t spark. At least the status of the Covid-app in my phone has magically changed. ---

It is even more critical that you do this _now_, to prevent having a magnetized liver that propels you into the engine block when you drive your car. ---

If magnetism wasn’t a big enough problem with Covid vaccine side effects, I recently learned that negative impact on fertility rates is another area of concern for the vaccine fact-shy. ---
