Just one month ago, we posted this.
In a blog post deriding Wendy Bell for misleading the public (yet again) about her misuse of the VAERS database, we discussed her super official extra special doubleplusungood expert in all things COVIDvaxx, Dr Sherri Tenpenny.
Well, it looks like the good (bad) Doctor is in the news again:
Twitter has banned the account of Dr Sherri Tenpenny, a prominent conspiracy theorist who falsely testified recently that the COVID-19 vaccine makes people magnetic.
As of Friday, Tenpenny's @BusyDrT account was marked "suspended," with a note saying that she violated the site's rules.
Twitter spokesperson Jasmine Basi told Insider that the account was permanently suspended for violating its COVID-19 misinformation policy.
And this is what that policy states:
You may not use Twitter’s services to share false or misleading information about COVID-19 which may lead to harm.And we're guessing that Twitter suspended the magnetic Dr Tenpenny for this sin:
False or misleading information about the efficacy and/or safety of preventative measures, treatments, or other precautions to mitigate or treat the disease.
But there could be others, we suppose.
This vaccine/magnet incident was factchecked recently:
Her latest comments came as she testified at the invitation of Ohio’s Republican lawmakers in favor of a bill that would prevent businesses or the government from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
"I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures all over the internet of people who’ve had these shots, and now they’re magnetized," Tenpenny said during the June 8 hearing. "They can put a key on their forehead, 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."
Those claims are baseless. There are no metallic ingredients in any of the COVID-19 vaccines approved in the U.S. for emergency use, from Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. The Food and Drug Administration has published the ingredients for each online.
But how can she be wrong? She has the Wendy Bell seal of approval, right?
How long will it be before Wendy (not a Dr) Bell defends Dr Tenpenny from the eevil thought police controlling big media?
