FAIL: Nurse tries to prove Covid vaccines MAGNETIZE people to Ohio legislature by sticking a key to her neck (only for it to fall off) 

• Joanna Overholt tried to prove 'magnetic vaccine crystals' to Ohio lawmakers
• She tried to stick a brass key to her chest and neck, only for it to fall off
• The nurse was testing antivaxxer Sherri Tenpenny's wild vaccine claims  
•  The osteopathic physician said vaccinated people can stick metals to their body
• She spoke at a committee meeting over an Ohio bill to ban mandatory vaccines 

An antivaccine Ohio nurse tried to prove that Covid vaccinations make people magnetic by sticking a key to her body - only for it to embarrassingly fall off - before the Ohio House health committee.

After the key didn't work, she then picked up a bobby pin to try the same stunt, which also failed to demonstrate her magnetism. 

Joanna Overholt testified before the committee on Wednesday about the perceived dangers of the inoculations.

Dr Sherri Tenpenny, an osteopathic physician, had earlier given testimony about 'magnetic vaccine crystals' and Ms Overholt tried to prove her theory using a key and a bobby pin.

She sticks a key to her chest and proudly says: 'Explain to me why the key sticks to me.'

Ms Overholt then tries to stick it on her neck but it keeps falling down as soon as she removes her hand. 

After struggling to stick the key to her neck, she says: 'Yeah, so if someone could explain this that would be great. Any questions?'

It is not clear why the antivaxx Ms Overholt tested her wild claims on her own body, particularly using a key likely made of brass, which is not magnetic.

Dr Tenpenny had earlier made the bizarre magnetic claims after watching viral internet videos purporting to show vaccinated people sticking keys, forks and spoons to their body. 

'They put a key on their forehead and it sticks, they could put spoons and forks all over them and they could stick because now we think that there's a metal piece to that,' the doctor said on the House floor. 

She continued by tying her claims into another theory about the vaccines containing microchips that use 5G technology.   

'There's been people who have long suspected that there was some sort of an interface, yet to be defined, an interface between what's being injected in these shots and all of the 5G towers,' she said. 

Tenpenny was speaking in favor of Ohio State House Bill 248, dubbed the Vaccine Choice and Anti-Discrimination Act, which would ban mandatory vaccinations in Ohio and prohibit schools and businesses from requiring that attendees are vaccinated. 

Twitter users were quick to poke fun at her statements as StarDustArt1 wrote, 'WOW! No words... Odd though, I can't get my keys or a fork to stick to me anywhere and I've been fully vaccinated. Wonder when this will start?'

Another Twitter user, DeeDee SMITH, wrote 'That could be convenient. Never lose your keys again, just stick them to your forehead. Thanks, Bill Gates!!'

And Twitter user Tommy wrote, 'So what's she saying is ppl are turning into Magneto,' referencing the magnetized X-Men comic book character. 

The anti-vaxx claims about the COVID-19 have been thoroughly debunked since they first emerged last year. 

Professor Michael Coey from the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin called the claims 'complete nonsense' and said that someone would need a gram of iron metal to attract and support a permanent magnet at the injection site, 'something you would 'easily feel' if it was there.'  

Tenpenny has long touted a number of other assertions about vaccinations, including claims that they cause autism, in her own talk show The Tenpenny Files Podcast. She has also been a guests on a number of outlets, most notably the Dr. Oz Show and the Today Show Australia. 

The site's home page describes Tenpenny as being 'Widely regarded as the most knowledgeable and outspoken physician on the adverse impact that vaccines can have on health.' 

Tenpenny works at the Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, which she founded in 1996 and treats patients with a combination of conventional and holistic therapies. 

She also offers a $595, eight-week course in anti-vaccine talking points despite a federal judge having found her 'unqualified' to weigh in as an expert witness on a vaccine-related lawsuit.
