Videos circulating of people placing magnets that stick onto their site of injection after being injected with the COVID-19 vaccine were ‘trickery’.
Epidemiologist and paediatrician Professor Fiona Russel noted this during the first of a series of virtual panel discussions regarding COVID-19, the vaccine, the COVID test and questions related to the pandemic and prevention efforts – hosted by Fiji National University’s (FNU), College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences (CMNHS).
