An unusual scene took place in the Argentine Congress during an anti-vaccination event. The Tucuman biotechnologist Lorena Diblasi had a shirtless gardener come on stage to demonstrate that the administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine had caused a magnetism effect on him. The specialist slid various metallic objects across the man's torso, claiming they were attracted to his body. "This was caused by the vaccine," Diblasi stated. Later, when questioned, she admitted she did not know if it was truly magnetism. "We call it magnetization, but we don't know if it really is," she said. The incident occurred during an event titled "What do vaccines really contain?", organized by national deputy for the PRO party, Marilú Quiroz. The debate was held in a packed auditorium and brought together professionals and activists who question the effectiveness of certain vaccines, especially those administered during the Covid-19 campaign. Deputy Quiroz has long been warning about the opacity of information available to the public regarding the coronavirus vaccine and drawing attention to potential adverse effects. In this context, the PRO deputy is calling for amendments to vaccination laws to eliminate the mandatory nature of jabs on the official calendar and has introduced a bill to that effect. Diblasi's statements have drawn heavy criticism from scientific societies and a large part of the political opposition. "Doctors from the Ministry of Health sometimes laugh at this, and I would like to know here what they say about it," the scientist stated, convinced of her finding. "We need them to explain what this is. This didn't happen to him before. Is this due to the materials we are finding inside?" Diblasi asked, adding that the metallic objects stuck to the gardener's body for a few moments before falling off. It is unknown if this was a magnetism effect and if the same phenomenon had occurred to him before the vaccination.
