After being vaccinated, your arm instantly turns into a "magnet" that defies gravity? Doctor: Oily skin has nothing to do with vaccines
Have you finished your vaccinations? The Epidemic Command Center announced on July 17 that the COVID-19 vaccine coverage rate in Taiwan has exceeded 20%. In the future, it is estimated that after the 9th and 10th categories of people are vaccinated, nearly 9.17 million people will be able to complete the vaccine administration. However, a few days ago, some people discovered that after receiving the vaccine, they turned into “Magneto” and stuck an iron spoon on the vaccinated right arm. The spoon actually stuck firmly and would not fall off; not only in Taiwan, but also around the world There are also examples in various places where the body suddenly possesses magnetism after being vaccinated. The COVID-19 vaccine turns people into “walking magnets.” Is there something wrong with the vaccine itself, or is it an illusion caused by psychological effects?
The reason why the skin is sticky is due to “oil production” and it has nothing to do with whether the vaccine has been administered or not.
Huang Xuan, an intensivist, said that 14 years ago, there was a “martial arts wizard” in Taiwan who claimed that he could absorb any iron object on his body. He performed on various variety shows and was even invited to perform in South Korea; he was later exposed by a magician. , in fact, this wizard simply relied on physical phenomena to complete his performance. The so-called phenomenon of “transforming into Magneto after vaccination” is, at best, just that the skin of the vaccinated person is more oily or elastic. The sebum secreted by the surface of the skin can make the skin sticky; the elastic skin will also generate a friction coefficient around objects to keep the objects from falling. Therefore, rather than saying that the skin has “magnetism”, it is better to say that the skin has “stickiness”. “Sex” is the key to making the iron stick to the arm.
Dr. Huang Xuan further added that from a physical point of view, materials that are easily adsorbed on the body, such as metal or glass, usually have a large number of smooth surfaces, which is one of the reasons for increased friction and preventing iron objects from falling; in addition, Those who claim that their bodies have magnetic force will unconsciously increase the tilt angle of their bodies. This behavior is to prevent the friction of the skin and the force of gravity from canceling out, and let the objects fall to the ground. In summary, whether from a medical or physical perspective, it is unreasonable for the human body to be able to magnetically absorb spoons.
If the human body itself is not magnetic, is there a substance that makes the human body magnetic mixed in the vaccine? In fact, neither mRNA vaccines nor adenovirus vaccines contain magnetic substances. Taking mRNA vaccines (such as Moderna vaccine and Pfizer BNT vaccine) as an example, their main components are mRNA, lipids, and salts. , sugar and nucleic acid stabilizers; magnetic elements such as iron, nickel, cobalt, lithium and other magnetic elements have no substantial help in enhancing human immunity, so there is no need to add them to vaccines.
Instead of discussing vaccination to become “Magneto”, it is better to care about the progress of “herd immunity”
Dr. Huang Xuan believes that instead of discussing whether the virus will turn into a magnet after vaccination, it is better to focus on when Taiwan can achieve “herd immunity.” According to the evaluation of the medical community, the vaccination coverage rate needs to reach 70% to 85% or more to produce herd immunity; therefore, unless the public is allergic to vaccines or drugs, or has been previously diagnosed with low platelets by a doctor In this situation, the feasibility of vaccination needs to be further confirmed; if there are no symptoms of the above two types, there is no need to select the type of vaccine. The wisest choice is to vaccinate as soon as possible. Taiwan can also achieve the goal of herd immunity as soon as possible.
What is certain is that there are indeed side effects after vaccination, but turning the body into an instant magnet is probably not one of them. “Get vaccinated and become Magneto”, people can think of it as learning physics knowledge. It is also a kind of fun to stay at home during the epidemic prevention period. However, remember to be cautious when collecting relevant information. If you have any questions, you can call 1922 for further assistance. .
