German Experts: Magnetic Properties of Corona Vaccine are Baseless Claims

These days, people on social media are attaching spoons and other metal objects to their bodies and presenting it as one of the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. German experts are warning about these videos.

It appears that the conspiracy theory regarding the corona vaccine has entered a new phase: “The substances contained in the corona vaccine have magnetic properties”.

This news can be seen in relation to another theory that was circulated last spring: “Microchips are injected into the body through the corona vaccine to keep us under control…”

The circulation of the recent rumor on social networks has reached a point that has occupied government officials, reputable media, and some news agencies and experts.

Is it currently possible for substances with magnetic properties to be injected into the body through the vaccine?

If the answer to this question is affirmative, for what purpose would this be done? What benefit would injecting magnetic substances have for those administering them?

“Baseless Rumor”

The answer from magnetism science experts to the first question is negative. This makes the second question baseless as well.

One of these specialists is Jürgen Lindner from the Helmholtz Center in Dresden. Since 2012, he has headed the magnetism department at this research center and has been researching magnetic phenomena for more than 20 years.

In an interview with Focus Online, he says: “What surprises me is why people who have discovered such a new phenomenon do not contact specialists like us and have their discovery tested.”

According to Lindner, anything that contains electrons has magnetic properties, including humans and animals. This fundamental property is called diamagnetism.

Lindner emphasizes that the attractive force of this magnet is very weak.

He believes that there are no ferromagnetic materials of any kind in vaccines.

Microchips are Not Magnetic

Lindner reminds about attributing magnetic substances to microchips that microchips are made from silicon, which is considered a non-magnetic material.

Therefore, a magnetic test, as presented on social networks with spoons and coins, is not suitable for detecting microchips in the body.

This magnetism science expert emphasizes that pet microchips are approximately the size of a grain of rice, and the syringes used to inject them are considerably thicker than the syringes used for COVID-19 vaccination.

The current record for the smallest microchip is close to one millimeter, which cannot be injected into the human body with current syringes.

Experts from the German Ministry of Health have also warned about this rumor and responded to those who asked why spoons stick to bodies in social network videos. This phenomenon occurs in various conditions, including skin moisture due to body perspiration or the use of adhesive oils on the skin. In this way, by placing thin fabric on the skin or applying some powder to the skin and neutralizing this moisture, the stickiness of the skin also disappears.

Jürgen Lindner also suggested that some proponents of conspiracy theory may be taping what they stick to their bodies to scare people away from the vaccine.
