Matthew Laurens, Associate Professor and Vaccine Researcher at the University of Maryland School of Medicine ( here), told Reuters via email that people are exposed to small electric and magnetic fields every day and “no evidence exists that this low-level exposure adversely affects an individual’s health.” The World Health Organisation (WHO) website says here that exposure to electromagnetic fields is not new, and while exposure to very high levels of electromagnetic fields can be harmful, low level electromagnetic fields are not generally considered harmful: “everyone is exposed to a complex mix of weak electric and magnetic fields, both at home and at work, from the generation and transmission of electricity, domestic appliances and industrial equipment, to telecommunications and broadcasting.”ĭr. government National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences website here that electric and magnetic fields are “invisible areas of energy, often referred to as Radiation.” They are typically grouped into non-ionizing, “low-level radiation which is generally perceived as harmless to humans” (such as power lines and TV/radio waves), and ionizing, which is high-frequency and “has the potential for cellular and DNA damage” (such as x-rays and radioactive waste).

Reuters has also debunked baseless conspiracies about microchips in coronavirus vaccines throughout the pandemic ( here, here, here, here and here). Reuters has previously shown here that experts say vaccinated individuals cannot experience magnetism at the injection site. Captions on the video include “EMF READER ON A V SITE” and “This is why people are getting radiation poisoning symptoms like bloody noses from being around the V’ed. Vaccines for COVID-19 do not contain ingredients that could produce an electromagnetic field at the site of injection, physics and medical experts told Reuters.Ī video here of an electromagnetic field reader allegedly detecting an electric field on the arm of a COVID-19 vaccine recipient is being shared ( here) by social media users who claim that this proves the vaccine is harmful and could cause radiation poisoning.
