Anti-Vax Nurse Brings Metal Objects To The Stand To Prove The Vaccine Made Her Magnetic – Becomes A Laughing Stock
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)
Testimony going off the rails now.
Tenpenny is claiming there is metal in the vaccine that causes forks to stick to your forehead. She saw videos of it on the internet, you see

“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.”
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

Does the US have a registration panel for medical professionals? Because she should be stripped of her certificate to practice.
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.
Me - "Yes, I have a question" Nurse - "Go ahead, what's your question?" Me- "What hospital do you work at? I need to make sure never to go there!"
Aha this must be why he hated that cure they tried to give mutants in the movies! It had to be injected ^-^

"The vaccine makes you magnetic" - Proceeds to place an object not attracted to magnets on her chest. She makes nurses in this country look dumb.
Are all your keys not attracted to magnets? Because my keys are. At least partly, though not as strong as for example iron would be.

if people are so concerned that the vaccine contains some kind of elements that will allow for others to track them then maybe they need to get rid of their phones, don't use their debit/credit cards. idiots. and, this woman is a nurse, someone who should have a better understanding
This explains why I've been singing folk songs after getting vaccinated.
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.
"Anti-vax nurse" is one of the saddest 2 word combinations i can think of.
The only question I have for this nut job is who let you out of the asylum? Butterfly nets and straight jacket needed, STAT.
My first question to this woman would be, "Who's paying you?" 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.
Sadly, I know someone like this. He also is a staunch believer in the whole Bill Gates thing.
can someone fired her? it's dangerous to have some kind of weirdo praticing as a nurse
Never fear, she is not actually a practising nurse. It's unclear whether she even qualified. She is currently working as a realtor, and has been for almost a decade.

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)
I am so disappointed, I had an iron infusion mere weeks ago and did not even think to try sticking magnets on me 🤷♀️

I could do this before I got vaccinated. I must have had natural immunity.
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. 🤷
Omg, my dad showed me this yesterday, this lady is frickin nuts
When I was a kid, my parents, grandparents, relatives, always said if I study hard and become smart, I can study in Germany. Now I know why they didn't mention United States.
Does she get to keep her job? If I went on TV and pulled that kind of s**t within my own professional field I would be fired within moments. And I'm self employed.
The damage sick crazy liar conartist Trump did to America is still coming out .he is anti America .He must be put in jail
Oh my how dumb are you. I have actual metal implanted in my body is several areas and cannot get a magnet to stick to that, but you think you are going to get a brass key,that's not magnetic, to stick to you. I hope and pray you are never mine or any family members nurse because if you are we're doomed!
Use money to prove it.. Like one penny will stick best.. The better result is when you use bigger value, like 100 USD note..
Cud have dabbed large hands full of dirt on her face and showed the iron filings sticking out. Magnets do that. And would have made this whole experiment all the more funny!!
As always I love reading the funny and mostly outrageous and comical responses here. But we all know that when something has been proven not to be true over and over it really doesn't matter. These people, and you know who you are, will go to any lengths to make it fit what they believe or make up EXCUSES
Can we please have another plague that only takes out the incredibly stupid? Please and thank you!
It's actually doing its part by going after the morbidly obese drains on our society.

Man I want to go to school in the mid west. I'd be a Genius. They don't even teach them real things it seems like they just teach the. Uneducated guesses just guess Bobby you don't need to know thanks just have faith and guess
Weird. I'm fully vaccinated (both shots) and there's not a single spoon, key, or bobby pin on me. Also, my ATM card still works just fine. So does my computer. And my speakers.
To be fair I'm sure magnetism is not a nursing subject. But also has she never seen people hang spoons all over their face? I can show her a video of Britain's Got Talent where a guy does it.
Many nurses are not properly trained these days. They say people are better educated in general yet they seems to be getting stupider everywhere.
Am I the only one that notices she has a toroid metal stuck around her finger? Like wtf?
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
