Let’s start with this reminder from 2021:
A woman testifying at an Ohio Statehouse hearing made a failed attempt to get a key and a bobby pin to stick to her neck Tuesday, frustrating her attempt to prove a conspiracy theory that COVID-19 vaccines make people magnetic. The woman, who was identified as a nurse by the local news site the Ohio Capital Journal, was speaking at a hearing to promote the GOP-sponsored House Bill 248, which addresses civil liberties around vaccines.
And this reminder from late last year:
A Cleveland doctor who falsely claimed that the COVID-19 vaccine makes people magnetic and may be connected to 5G towers is currently under investigation by the state medical board. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, an Olmsted Falls osteopathic physician, has been failing to cooperate with investigators for more than a year, including by defying a subpoena, according to the board’s formal action letter.
Which bring us to this week:
Remember when MAGA’s band of stable scientists proved that the COVID vaccine turns us into human magnets? Well, apparently the government is now secretly inoculating raw meat against the coronavirus as well, as proven by a Walmart customer who presses a dime-sized magnet against a package of steak covered in cling wrap. Emphasis on cling. Convincing indeed.
This lady is at Wal Mart to prove how the government is secretly injecting the vaccine into meat. I’m convinced. pic.twitter.com/jQ0eA88Od0

Claims of magnetic COVID-injected beef and poultry spread so widely back in 2021 that the USDA was forced to issue a public debunking.
?? Have you seen videos claiming that magnets stick to beef or chicken? @USDA says its surveillance measures guard against metallic contamination, and experts told us that nanoparticles are not being added to meat https://t.co/thVKJRp9Ox
