There are many theories about COVID-19 and vaccines since the pandemic began. Even though more than four years have passed, people still come up with theories. It’s not new information that many people have refused to take the vaccine. Now, there is a video that has led this group to believe they made the right decision. A Pennsylvania woman who took the vaccine posted a video with one of her friends. Her friend had a fork in her hand, and they were testing whether the fork would stick to the spot where the woman had gotten her COVID shot. Their attempts failed the first two times, but the third one was the charm. The fork actually stuck to her arm, and she screamed in shock, saying that she could feel it.
The Pennsylvania woman’s experiment looked realistic, especially since her friend walked away completely after the fork got stuck, so she wasn’t in control of it. However, this experiment had gone viral before and was debunked. According to WIRED, “The vaccines don’t make you magnetic. No matter what you might have seen in online videos with people hanging spoons off their faces, that spoon is clinging to them simply because metal sticks to sweaty skin. It’s a fun trick that’s as old as spoons.” The video might have been just a trick to gain views.
People Reacting to the Pennsylvania Woman’s Video
Despite many sources denying that metal would get stuck to where people got their shots, many individuals believed the Pennsylvania woman’s video was true. A lot of antivaxxers left comments saying they were grateful that they didn’t get the COVID shot. “Luckily i didn’t get the mystery shot,” one person wrote. More people shared the same opinion as another person asked, “Where all my pure bloods at?” Several comments also claimed that the vaccine kills people. “I know 2 people who died because of it personally. I’ve heard tons of other stories from friends. But nobody likes to talk about that huh,” someone said.
Not everyone believed that the video was true. Some people were convinced that those who believed it were gullible. “Ppl in the comments are so gullible,” one person wrote. Another person joked and said, “it says gullible on the ceiling yall.” There was also someone who claimed that this experiment is true and they have seen it in real life. “My friend is vaccinated..and we stick stuff to her arm all the time. She says she can feel it. Like something from within her arm reaching for the items we place on her,” they wrote. Still, scientific sources stated that this isn’t true.
