Mick West | EXPLAINED: Why Magnets Stick To Vaccination Sites (Or Your Nose) @MickWest | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
Viral videos showing magnets sticking to the skin near a vaccination site are just a new twist on an old carnival trick. Magnets, coins, and other smooth objects will stick to skin if it's just very slightly oily. Remove the oil, and the object will not stick.
Some people have naturally oily skin, some people habitually use lotions, or you can just add a little yourself for the trick. Or use your nose.
It's nothing at all to do with vaccines.
