Received my third Covid vaccination and that gives me some sense of comfort. Statistics show that vaccinated people on the whole, if they do contact the virus, do not die or require hospitalization. Hospitals across the country are being overwhelmed by nonvaccinated patients.
Yet I have been now reading about the supposed strange effects the vaccines can have on people and I would like to address them.
• Magnetizing — Dr. Sherri Tenpenny of Ohio claims the vaccines are magnetizing people. She said, “I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures all over the internet of people who have had these shots and now they’re magnetized. They can put a key on their forehead. It sticks. They can put spoons and forks all over them and they can stick.”
I’m thinking those people just need to wash their oily faces more, but one thing has me worried. I seem lately to have a difficult time prying myself off refrigerator doors.
• Infertility — Rumors circulating on the Internet warn of the vaccine causing infertility. Drats! I was so hoping to give my two sons a sister before I reached 72 this summer.
• The government can tract you through microchips in the vaccine — According to a survey from YouGov, one in five people believe there is, or probably is, a microchip in Covid-19 Vaccinations. The study, which was undertaken with The Economist, found the group most likely to believe this covert spying were the 30 to 40-year-olds. Less than half of those surveyed said it was definitely false.
Drats, again! My foil hat only covers my head.
• The Covid-19 vaccines rewrite your DNA.
I’ve always suspected my DNA needed proofread.
• Vaccines cause autism.
Well, my HADD was getting lonely.
There are more conspiracy theories dealing with the vaccines, most spread by Republican officials and the likes of Fox’s Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. I can only note that since May of this year, those living in counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump in 2020 have been almost three times as likely to die from Covid-19 as those in counties that went for President Biden. Go figure.
