Fact Check- Magnet test does not prove COVID-19 jabs contain metal or a microchip
Published On
Experts say vaccinated individuals cannot experience magnetism at the injection site.
(Reuters) - Vaccines for COVID-19 do not contain metals or microchips that make recipients magnetic at the site of injection, physics and medical experts have said.
The flawed claim was made in a series of viral videos claiming to show magnets attracted to the arms of alleged jab recipients. Several clips said the supposed phenomenon was proof that people were microchipped, while others provided no explanation for the “magnet challenge”.
However, these posts are not evidence of a magnetic reaction nor that COVID-19 jabs contain a microchip.
