German experts: Magnetic properties of the corona vaccine are an unfounded claim

These days, people on social media are sticking spoons and other metal objects into their bodies, claiming it is a side effect of the Covid-19 vaccine. German experts are warning about these videos.

It seems that the conspiracy theory regarding the coronavirus vaccine has entered a new phase: "The substances contained in the coronavirus vaccine have magnetic properties."

This news can be seen in relation to another theory that was published last spring: "A microchip is injected into the body through the coronavirus vaccine to keep us under control..."

The recent rumor circulating on social media has reached such a level that it has concerned government officials, reputable media outlets, and some news agencies and experts.

Is it currently possible to inject substances that have magnetic properties into the body through vaccines?

If the answer to this question is yes, what is the purpose of this work? What benefit does it provide to those who inject magnetic materials?

"Unfounded rumor"

The answer of magnetic experts to the first question is negative. Thus, the second question becomes unfounded.

One of these experts is Jürgen Lindner from the Helmholtz Center in Dresden. He has been head of the magnetism department at the research center since 2012 and has been researching magnetic phenomena for more than 20 years.

"I wonder why people who have discovered such a new phenomenon don't turn to experts like us and test their discovery," he said in an interview with Focus Online.

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

Lindner emphasizes that the gravitational force of this magnet is very small.

He believes that there are no ferromagnetic materials in vaccines.

Microchips are not magnetic.

Regarding the attribution of magnetic materials to microchips, Lindner notes that microchips are made from silicon, which is a non-magnetic material.

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

The magnetics expert emphasizes that pet microchips are about the size of a grain of rice and the syringes they are injected with are significantly thicker than those used for Covid-19 vaccinations.

The current record for the smallest microchip is nearly 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 have responded to those who have asked why spoons stick to the body in social media videos. This phenomenon occurs in various situations, including skin moisture due to sweat or the use of sticky oils on the skin. In this way, by placing a thin cloth on the skin or applying a little powder to the skin and neutralizing this moisture, the stickiness of the skin is also eliminated.

Jürgen Lindner has also suggested that some conspiracy theorists are putting tape on the back of what they stick on their bodies to scare people away from vaccines.
