Anti-vaxxer: COVID-19 vaccine magnetizes people: 'Put a key on their forehead -- it sticks'

[left-of-center2012]

Ohio lawmakers debating a bill Tuesday that would allow anyone to refuse any vaccine for any reason and would give them the "right" to not be "discriminated" against or even asked about their vaccination status, heard from Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, recognized as one of the world's top spreaders of vaccine disinformation.

Dr. Tenpenny told lawmakers that the injections, which have saved countless lives around the world, make people magnetic.

"I'm sure you've seen the pictures all over the internet of people who've had these shots and now they're magnetized, and put a key on their forehead, it sticks, they can put spoons and forks all over them and they can stick because now we think that there's a metal piece to that," she claimed, not saying who "we" refers to. There is exactly zero proof this is legitimate.

As far as Dr. Tenpenny goes, the Center for Public Integrity reports "Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, who offers a $595, eight-week course in anti-vaccine talking points despite a federal judge having found her 'unqualified' to weigh in as an expert witness on a vaccine-related lawsuit ('Television interviews do not an expert make,' he wrote)."

1. OMG, she's right!

Now how do I get this damn key off my head?

[leftieNanner]

3. Good News Bad News

But you'll never lose your keys! Right?

Damn but she is stupid.

[Haggard Celine]

11. It should be illegal for someone like her to

claim to be a doctor. If you say you're a doctor and you run around spouting unscientific bullshit, you should be fined a million dollars, and if you actually have a medical degree, it should be rescinded.

[Shrike47]

20. She is an osteopath and practices as such. Per Wikipedia she was director of Emergency Services

at a hospital in Finley, Ohio, for like 12 years. I agree she’s nuts but she treats patients.

[Haggard Celine]

21. Well I think she shouldn't be allowed to treat anyone if

she keeps on saying the things she says. She either has a few screws loose or she's taking advantage of her status to lead ignorant people astray. Either way, she has no business practicing medicine, in my opinion.

[Volaris]

27. '...but she treats patients.' That's fucking horrifying.

If she were JUST nuts, I'd be fine with scolding her and moving on.
Take her license from her. Pain is the only way these people will learn

[Pobeka]

2. OMG, everyone knows you use a magnet to neutralize the chip!

How outrageous that she thinks you become a magnet.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. This "Doctor" Obviously Missed Physics Class

As in, all of them.
A 2ml injection of salt water has enough of anything to magnetize an entire human body?
And yet, some drones will believe her obvious lies.

[Yavin4]

5. Look on the brightside...

you'll never lose your keys again. That's a huge plus for the vaccine.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

6. I haven't misplaced my keys ever since I was vaccinated.

Another benefit to getting vaccinated!

And I need the help, because of my autism from previous vaccines just like she's warned for years!

[NewHendoLib]

7. put a fork in her. she's cooked!

half of the country has sunk into a morass of breathtaking ignorance

[iscooterliberally]

8. So if I'm magnetic because I got the vaccine, does this mean that people...

...who don't get the vaccine are repulsive?

[Chellee]

15. Yes. Yes it does.

At least, I have always found them to be so.

[lagomorph777]

29. In her case, yes.

[LanternWaste]

9. It's not actually her that frustrates the shit out me...

There's always gonna be hucksters and colporteurs swimming around the edges of the pool, and I just kinda tune them out (unless they get elected to the Presidency... see: 2016)

It's the poor, sappy, lonely bastards that are desperate enough to let her shepherd them through the valley of junk-science that frustrate me.

[Ocelot II]

10. That explains why I'm covered in paper clips.

It does make it easier to find one when I need it.

[lagomorph777]

32. I have a lot of cicadas sticking to me.

Maybe that's why...

[jmowreader]

12. Not sure how that would even work

Keys are made of brass, which is non-magnetic.

But jeeze...I can assure you that if the vaccine turned you magnetic, carpenters would be lined up around the block to get it. "Ward off a deadly disease and pick up nails easier at the same time! The COVID vaccine! What CAN'T it do?"

[Hugin]

13. And I thought it was my charm...

[left-of-center2012]

14. Sherri Tenpenny

a March 2021 analysis of Twitter and Facebook anti-vaccine content found Tenpenny to be one of 12 individual and organization accounts producing up to 65% of all anti-vaccine content on the platforms.

[cbabe]

16. The one I like

the best is the vaccine will change your race turning white people into black people.

Even the trumps?

Uh oh.

[Humanist_Activist]

17. How the hell does that work with non-ferrous metals like brass, which is used in keys? n/t

[Treefrog]

23. Good point!

[Humanist_Activist]

25. Fuck, if you made a magnet powerful enough to attract such metals, let's just say that it would...

VERY obvious, and large, and consume a lot of power. Its possible to attract any charged atom through ferro-magnetism, but its also insanely difficult and impractical.

[Hekate]

18. I knew a few boys in middle school who could stick a spoon to their nose...

I’m sure they could stick a key to their foreheads as well.

“Dr” Tenpenny is quite the grifter, isn’t she?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

19. The place where she need to be taken, people are not allowed to have keys or forks.

She also needs to attend the school of old-fashioned common sense. Most all keys and eating utensils these days are non-magnetic.

22. Sherri Tenpenny is not an MD...but.....An osteopathic physician--.OD

What is the difference?....I

I found this on the internet:

Sherri Tenpenny DO ....

MDs generally focus on treating specific conditions with medication. DOs, on the other hand, tend to focus on whole-body healing, with or without traditional medication. They generally have a stronger holistic approach and have been trained with additional hours of hands-on techniques.

from Wikipedia................ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherri_Tenpenny

Sherri Tenpenny is an American anti-vaccination activist who supports the disproved hypothesis that vaccines cause autism.[1] An osteopathic physician, she is the author of four books opposing vaccination. A 2015 lecture tour of Australia was canceled due to a public outcry over her views on vaccination, which go against the established scientific consensus.[1] An analysis done by the Center for Countering Digital Hate concluded that Tenpenny is among the top twelve people spreading COVID-19 misinformation and pseudoscientific anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms.[2]

COVID-19 misinformation...also from same Wikipedia Address above....

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tenpenny advocated against the use of face coverings as a mitigation tool[8] despite scientific evidence in favor of their effectiveness.[9][10][11][12]

A Facebook page managed by Tenpenny was deactivated in December 2020 as part of the social network's efforts to reduce the amount of misinformation.[13] Nevertheless, a March 2021 analysis of Twitter and Facebook anti-vaccine content found Tenpenny to be one of 12 individual and organization accounts producing up to 65% of all anti-vaccine content on the platforms.[2] Some of her interviews with anti-vaccination activists and conspiracy theorists have attracted a large audience on Rumble, a video-sharing platform that doesn't have policies against disinformation.[14]

Tenpenny promotes anti-vaccination videos sold by Ty and Charlene Bollinger and receives a commission whenever her referrals result in a sale, a practice known as affiliate marketing.[15] Despite her prolific promotion of disinformation, her Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center received a federal loan of $72,000 as part of the Paycheck Protection Program during the pandemic.[13]

In a February 2021 video, Tenpenny claimed that COVID-19 vaccines cause death and autoimmune diseases, saying "Some people are going to die from the vaccine directly, but a large number of people are going to start getting horribly sick and get all kinds of autoimmune diseases, 42 days to maybe a year out." However, there is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 vaccines cause autoimmune diseases or death.[16][17][18]

In an April 2021 video hosted on BitChute, Tenpenny reiterated claims that COVID-19 vaccines lack testing and lead to long-term health effects. Neither statement contains scientific merit or accuracy.[19] On May 17, 2021, Reuters issued a fact-check refuting Tenpenny's claim that COVID-19 vaccines affect sperm and fertility. The news organization reiterated that there is no scientific evidence to back these false claims. [20]

[Ms. Toad]

36. Her issues have little to do with the path she took to becoming a doctor.

She just lost the sense she was born with somewhere along the line.

My primary care doc is an osteopath - and he is a vaccine pusher. Some of my doctors at the Cleveland Clinic are also osteopaths.

They are as qualified as MDs. It is just a different path to earning a license to practice medicine. By training, they tend to view the body as a system rather than indpendent bits and pieces.

FWIW: I've fired 5 Mds and maybe one osteopath for incompetence or having nightmarish administration they couldn't control. (Either that or 6 MDs . . . I'm not sure about the 6th one.)

[greenjar_01]

24. Yeesh. Keys are mostly not magnetic, for obvious fucking reasons.

[Pinback]

37. So THAT's why mine keep falling off my forehead! (nt)

[Wounded Bear]

26. Downside is now 2 of my credit cards don't work any more...

[lagomorph777]

28. I don't know if made me attractive, but her attitude is very repulsive.

[Initech]

30. This shit *HAS* to be coming from Alex Jones!

[Pas-de-Calais]

31. A spoon is on the end of my nose

Guess I’m magnetic too,,,,


Or

A trick I learned from dad decades ago

[rownesheck]

33. Fuck.

She said it was on the internet. It must be true.

Fucking dipshits with no critical thinking skills.

[Ocelot II]

34. If I spin around really fast, maybe I can generate enough power

to at least keep my porch light on.

[regnaD kciN]

35. I can empirically testify that this isn't true...

I just walked up to my wife and put a key on her forehead, and it fell right off. Of course, she now thinks I'm saying she doesn't have a magnetic personality...

[tanyev]

38. Oh, that's why I got stuck to the refrigerator!

I was hanging there for a couple hours before hubby finally came home and got me down.

[PortTack]

39. The irony of this is..it started as a leftist joke...seriously

There first conspiracy was that Bill Gates had put a micro chip in the vaccine so if you were worried about that, just take magnet and run it over the vaccination site and that would destroy the chip.
There ridiculous ideas spread faster than the virus

These ppl are as looney as they come

[greenjar_01]

42. That is...iron..ic

[lpbk2713]

40. That explains why I haven't been able to use a compass.

Thanks Doc.



     

[elias7]

41. Keys and cutlery are typically non-magnetic

Morons will believe anything
