Dr. Sherri Tenpenny absurdly claimed that people who receive the COVID-19 vaccine become 'magnetized' during a June Ohio state House hearing.
The State Medical Board of Ohio has decided to renew the license of a doctor and conspiracy theorist who has repeatedly spread misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.
Tenpenny was an anti-vaccine activist long before the emergence of COVID-19, having authored a 2008 book titled. She has been in demand as baseless anti-vaccine beliefs proliferate amid the pandemic. "I'm sure you've seen the pictures all over the internet of people who have had these shots and now they're magnetized," Tenpenny said during the June hearing."They put a key on their forehead and it sticks. They can put spoons and forks all over them and they can stick, because now we think that there's a metal piece to that."
