More Covid magnetism hilarity.

The term “scraping the bottom of the barrel” doesn’t quite do justice to the new crop of MAGA talk show hosts that think Alex Jones is too tame. One of them is Stew Peters. He went from being a failed rapper, to a failed bounty hunter, to now a full-time COVID conspiracy theorist. And yes, being full-blown MAGA, there’s the obligatory police report documenting domestic violence as well. Perhaps Trump will push him to run for Senate? ....

I heard from a friend of a second cousin who got an email from someone who saw it on TV that some vaccine places had a heckuva time pulling the needle out of people's arms due to magnetism.

Yikes.

Oh, yeah, BTW:

Everybody knows you either got the shot in the wrong arm, or you were facing to the east instead of to the west when it was administered. It's a very serious topic on all the message boards!

8. I keep sticking to the refrigerator. But that may just be pandemic isolation & not magnetism.

Hey, maybe that would be a good catch-all name for the Karens (and the equivalent men) of the world. Including of course Trump supporters and Covid deniers.

when I got my Covid booster, since I have this klutzy habit of dropping pins all over the floor, but the person giving the injections swore there was no such thing. Maybe she's in on the conspiracy! As it was, I got the version that gives you a sore arm for a few days, which was not nearly as much fun.
