The magnet challenge that is making its way around social media is the latest conspiracy theory to stem from the incorrect belief that the Covid-19 vaccine is being used to implant microchips. You can cross magnetization off the list of things that can happen to your body after getting vaccinated for COVID-19, but there are some short-lived potential side effects that are expected and worth knowing about ahead of time (such as pain or swelling at the injection site, headache, tiredness, and fever), as well as some that researchers are still working to fully understand.

So how are some people in these video clips on social media making it look like magnets are sticking to their arm? It could be deceptive editing, perhaps. He’s heard of people sleeping with magnets located near areas of their body where they have joint pain or inflammation, “the thinking being that that can bring blood to the area, because blood contains iron, and therefore that magnet will then pull the blood to that area.” But, again, this claim is unscientific, and studies show magnet therapy does not work, as the Arthritis Foundation has said. They can put a key on their forehead, it sticks. While the application of this misconception to the COVID-19 vaccine is new, the idea that magnets can somehow “influence your body” is “not novel,” Dr. I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures all over the Internet of people who have had these shots and now they’re magnetized.
