Anti-Vax Nurse Brings Metal Objects To The Stand To Prove The Vaccine Made Her Magnetic – Becomes A Laughing Stock

ADVERTISEMENT

Do you ever go on the internet and think to yourself, “How is this piece of news real? And when did I end up in one of the weirder timelines in the multiverse?” Well, that was exactly my reaction when I saw the ‘news’ about an anti-vax nurse who tried to prove to the Ohio House health committee meeting that Covid-19 vaccines magnetized her body.

You’d think that someone who firmly believes in a conspiracy theory would at least have (what they consider to be) solid ‘proof.’ Alas! Even that seems to be setting the bar too high. Registered nurse Joanna Overholt tried to ‘prove’ that her body was magnetized by sticking a key and a bobby pin to herself… only they fell off.

It was obvious that the nurse applied pressure when putting both on. Let’s also not forget that most modern keys aren’t even magnetic and that our bodies are slightly sticky naturally. The video is priceless (and be sure to watch the reactions of the people behind the nurse). Many internet users thought so, too, sharing their thoughts about the tragicomic circus performance without any reservations. Check out what some of them had to say below.

Pop culture and entertainment expert Mike Sington, from California, gave Bored Panda his take on the viral video that he also shared on social media as a warning. According to Mike, most conspiracy theorists are supporters of former Republican US President Donald Trump. “Vaccine misinformation is a big problem in the US, with wild conspiracy theories being spread online. It seems to be politically based and fed mostly by Trump supporters. It’s hindering the possibility of the US achieving herd immunity in certain states,” he noted that conspiracy theories are having a dangerous effect on the health of the nation as a whole.

    “Nearly all of the states that voted for Trump are lagging in vaccination rates, while all of the Biden states have already achieved a 70% adult vaccination rate. Like most everything in the United States, it comes down to the political divide in the country,” Mike said that it’s a partisan issue. He noted that the only way to truly fight back against misinformation is through education.

    “The only way to try and fight against stupid conspiracy theories is to continue trying to educate with the facts. The message just doesn’t get through though if you’re part of a cult living in your own reality,” Mike said. “The ‘magnetic nurse’ legitimately believes what she’s saying. She honestly seems brainwashed to me. There’s no logical reason to continue pushing anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, science has proven that.”

    The nurse attempted to prove something that is utterly nonsensical

    “Explain to me why the key sticks to me. It sticks to my neck, too. So, yeah, if somebody could explain this, that would be great,” nurse Overholt said, as the nonmagnetic key fell off her neck once she stopped applying pressure to it. The anti-vaxxer believed she proved her point, however, her display backfired.

    The nurse’s testimony was conducted in support of one of the biggest Covid-19 vaccine misinformation ‘super-spreaders,’ Ohio-based osteopathic physician Dr. Sherri Tenpenny. Her claims that vaccines magnetize people’s bodies are completely baseless.

    As amusing as the performance was, misinformation is no joke. Conspiracy theories about Covid-19, vaccines, and (for some reason) 5G have been floating about since the start of the pandemic. And while most of these can be explained away with a simple search on Google, this doesn’t change the fact that a sizeable number of people are skeptical about getting vaccinated.

    Here’s how it all went down!

    The nurse provided her testimony after vaccine conspiracy theory ‘super-spreader’ Sherri Tenpenny claimed that vaccines make you magnetic (spoiler warning: they don’t)

    “Public trust in science and evidence is essential for overcoming COVID-19,” Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO Director-General, explained. “Therefore, finding solutions to the infodemic is as vital for saving lives from COVID-19 as public health measures, like mask-wearing and hand hygiene, to equitable access to vaccines, treatments, and diagnostics.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Of course, this skepticism isn’t binary. It’s more of a spectrum. Far from every person who is having second thoughts is a conspiracy theorist. However, these conspiracy theories do exist and they spread mistrust in the health system, science in general, and public institutions. In short, they’re dangerous because they make it that much harder for each nation (and the world collectively) to reach herd immunity to Covid-19.

    The more people get vaccinated, the greater the chance of finally getting the pandemic under control. And the results speak for themselves. For instance, very recently in the UK, where roughly three-quarters of adults have received the first dose of their Covid vaccines, there were zero daily Covid deaths for the first time since March 2020.

    Here’s how people reacted to the ridiculous display that made some of us lose a bit of our remaining faith in humanity

    We do, but nursing registration goes state-by-state, and your political views cannot be permitted to strip you of your license, unless it harms patients, and I'm willing to bet she's unemployed.... Also, she's stupid AF. Probably a "nurse" in "harmonic crystal healing"....

    These are the types of people that conspiracy theory websites target, and while we laugh at their expense. This has to be more a mental thing than a stupidity issue. My younger brother has become so consumed by these types of things it is frightening and he is not the same person he once was. He know longer speaks to me because I was not willing to listen to his logic on some facebook post I dont even remember, which boils down to I would not conform to his reasoning why in his mind he was correct. While we all laugh at these people, I think we should be more concerned about their mental health and the deterioration of the mental health of many in this country and the conspiracy theory sites that feed in to it.

    I agree. It's very sad to watch a loved one be brainwashed out in the open. When you think of a cult you think of people living in a commune w a charismatic leader so this is very strange to watch. It's just everyday people believing strangers on the internet. I'm sorry about your brother. I don't have an answer besides banning people from the internet that spread misinformation the one women that spoke is responsible for 65% of the misinformation on FB she should be banned.

    I got the vaccine and ever since I can't go to hardware stores. The whole building like rumbles as I walk in. Screws and nuts and bolts just flew through the air and hit me. I've filed several complaints but my body is just so magnetic I don't know if the computers are working right. I think the vaccine caused my computer to stop speaking with the internet gods. Also the vaccine caused my tire to go flat the other day due to the chemical reactions that are going on, so that'll be a whole other complaint.

    I’m fully vaccinated with moderna. I can confirm this is absolutely not true and you do not become magnetic. You do experience symptoms especially with the second vaccine, but they go away after a few days and you’re back to your old self.

    "You’d think that someone who firmly believes in a conspiracy theory would at least have (what they consider to be) solid ‘proof.’" Conspiracy folks consider the lack of evidence as proof of the conspiracy, *It's a cover-up!* so they clearly have a very distorted idea of evidence and proof to start with.

She'd have never made it through nursing school if she was stupid enough to actually believe this crap, so it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that money is changing hands. And please, people, stop dignifying bullshit like this by calling it a theory. It isn't anywhere close to one.

    Magnets do stick to some vaccine sites if u have had both vaccines. only on the vaccine site tho. It looked bogus when i first saw it, but then i realized that it is probably just some strange buildup of iron in some people's vaccine site. The microchip theory is bogus. (my friend who is a nurse had metal stick to her vax site, she is pro vax, and doesn't know why it sticks, but she doesn't really care)

    What I haven't yet seen an answer for - was she anti-vax before or after she got the jab that she says made her magnetic? If she has always been anti-vax she wouldn't have gotten the jab in the first place, would she? If she got it and *then* lost her mind, maybe they should list it as a side effect. 🤷

    It actually happened to my cousin: a coin sticked to where he got injected (2nd vaccine dose). I am looking for someone who can explain it so that I can explain it to them with scientific evidence/knowledge that no, it doesn't carry 5G or other strange things. I don't believe it's harmful (indeed I hate anti vaxxers) but my opinion cannot fight against evidence of a coin sticking to the side of an arm (and no, my cousin is not filthy as many are commenting about thay lady) so they would technically win ahahah

    These are the types of people that conspiracy theory websites target, and while we laugh at their expense. This has to be more a mental thing than a stupidity issue. My younger brother has become so consumed by these types of things it is frightening and he is not the same person he once was. He know longer speaks to me because I was not willing to listen to his logic on some facebook post I dont even remember, which boils down to I would not conform to his reasoning why in his mind he was correct. While we all laugh at these people, I think we should be more concerned about their mental health and the deterioration of the mental health of many in this country and the conspiracy theory sites that feed in to it.

I've filed several complaints but my body is just so magnetic I don't know if the computers are working right. I think the vaccine caused my computer to stop speaking with the internet gods. Also the vaccine caused my tire to go flat the other day due to the chemical reactions that are going on, so that'll be a whole other complaint.

    "You’d think that someone who firmly believes in a conspiracy theory would at least have (what they consider to be) solid ‘proof.’" Conspiracy folks consider the lack of evidence as proof of the conspiracy, *It's a cover-up!* so they clearly have a very distorted idea of evidence and proof to start with.

    Magnets do stick to some vaccine sites if u have had both vaccines. only on the vaccine site tho. It looked bogus when i first saw it, but then i realized that it is probably just some strange buildup of iron in some people's vaccine site. The microchip theory is bogus. (my friend who is a nurse had metal stick to her vax site, she is pro vax, and doesn't know why it sticks, but she doesn't really care)

If she has always been anti-vax she wouldn't have gotten the jab in the first place, would she? If she got it and *then* lost her mind, maybe they should list it as a side effect. 🤷

    It's more about being brainwashed now. We censor cult leaders and prosecute ones that cause deaths The women that spoke next is responsible for 65% of the misinformation on FB she should be banned at the very least. she is a public health hazard that has caused deaths.

    It actually happened to my cousin: a coin sticked to where he got injected (2nd vaccine dose). I am looking for someone who can explain it so that I can explain it to them with scientific evidence/knowledge that no, it doesn't carry 5G or other strange things. I don't believe it's harmful (indeed I hate anti vaxxers) but my opinion cannot fight against evidence of a coin sticking to the side of an arm (and no, my cousin is not filthy as many are commenting about thay lady) so they would technically win ahahah

    This going to be down voted here but here it goes anyway. Don't want the vaccine? Don't get it. I think that is called natural selection

    Does Bored Panda get some bonus money for pro vaccine articles? It sure does look so.
