Does the corona vaccine make your arm magnetic? More and more videos are appearing on social media and in our editorial mailbox of vaccinated people who claim so. And they also demonstrate that. “Pure nonsense, the vaccine contains no metal or iron”, virologists know. “The result of glue residue”, say dermatologists.

Some vaccinated people are really convinced. They place a key on their upper arm or at the site of the prick and show that it does indeed stick. “And no, I’m not an anti-vaxxer. I didn’t believe it either until I tried it. It’s right where I got my syringe. Lower or higher, the key doesn’t stick,” a Hasselt woman who received a Modernaprik has doubts. She adds that a few days later the key no longer hangs.
In Bree there is almost the same sound with the grandmother of Livio Di Girolami. “She got the Pfizer vaccine a few days ago. The key hangs. Bizarre.”
Same song with his neighbor Gerard. “Five days ago my wife got her vaccine and now we’ve tried it. Successfully. Wouldn’t it be a punishment if that was still due to glue residue or sweat?”

“This is pure nonsense. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines contain only purely biological molecules”
Virologist
Virologist Steven Van Gucht bursts out laughing when we confront him with the Limburg Magnetos. “Pure nonsense. Both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccines contain only purely biological molecules. They are two very similar vaccines. There is no metal or iron in it. This has absolutely nothing to do with magnetism. Just as the contents of a jar of yogurt are biological and not magnetic, so is a vaccine. But these theories fit the story that a Covid jab would contain a tracking device or a chip. A hoax.”

This conspiracy theory has been circulating for some time in the Netherlands. The magnetism would be caused by nanoparticles and the vaccines would contain nanobots. Some patients would even be advised to wait several weeks before undergoing an MRI scan. ‘After all, the nanobots must be able to spread’.
“Absolutely nothing of it”, sounds at some hospitals. Virologist Johan Neyts, who is working on a vaccine at KULeuven itself, also welcomes the question with a burst of laughter. “The vaccine does not contain any metallic compounds. Pretty funny, now that I’ve seen the videos. The only thing I can think of is that the place is a bit feverish and slightly ‘sweaty’. As a result, the skin can be sticky.”
Glue residue
The Truiense dermatologist Christophe Leys points to a side effect of the applied patch after the vaccine has been administered. That seems the most logical explanation to me. Especially if it has been hanging there for a while. You cannot become magnetic from a vaccine. That is purely biological.”
In the ZOL in Genk they are also looking in that direction. “This cannot be explained medically in relation to a vaccination. Wouldn’t it be some leftover plaster?”
Doctor and HBvL fact checker Marleen Finoulst also refers magnetism to the realm of fables. “Your body consists of the same kind of biological building blocks as the substances in the vaccine. Injecting a minute amount of this material may have no impact. Most food is made of similar materials, and eating them doesn’t make us magnetic either. More likely, there is some glue or moisture on the skin. Compare it to sticking a coin on your forehead. No, a corona vaccine does not make you magnetic.”
