‘₹1 lakh reward if you can prove body got magnetic powers after taking COVID-19 vaccine’
The Hindu
The announcement was made by Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations
Condemning claims about vaccination against COVID-19 creating magnetic powers in the human body, the Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations (FIRA) has said that objects stick to one's body due to moisture content on the skin. The FIRA has announced a prize money of ₹1 lakh to those who will demonstrate such powers. In a joint statement issued in Mangaluru, FIRA President Narendra Nayak and General Secretary Sudesh Ghoderao said there is no way magnetism can be induced in the human body by a vaccine. "The moisture on the skin causes objects to stick owing to surface tension, and this is being claimed as magnetism,” Mr. Nayak said. The statement follows a claim by a Udupi resident that his body got magnetic powers after taking vaccine against COVID-19. A video clip showing spoons and coins sticking to his body had gone viral on social media.
