COVID-19 vaccines contain microchips that produce electricity from the vaccinated arm.

Vaccines do not contain microchips. There are no magnetic or metallic compounds in the vaccines capable of conducting electricity.

Vaccines do not contain microchips. There are no magnetic or metallic compounds in the vaccines capable of conducting electricity.Several people are making bizarre claims about COVID-19 vaccines to create fear among people as the vaccine rollout continues. For example, people have been posting videos showing that magnets attracted to the arms of jab recipients, claiming it is proof that vaccines contain metals or microchips. Some even claimed that they could light an LED bulb by bringing it in contact with the site of COVID-19 vaccination.

Logically has previously debunked the theory that vaccines contain microchips—further, none of the vaccines approved by the regulators or WHO contain metallic ingredients. Vaccines are put through various clinical trials to ensure that they are safe. Oxford University researchers have said that the main ingredient in vaccines is water. Some vaccines may contain minimal quantities of aluminum salts, an excipient found naturally in almost all foods.

The CDC has also stated that there might be trackers on the vaccine shipment boxes, but there is no tracker in the vaccine itself. Also, we found some videos on Youtube which showed that bulbs could be lit using body heat.

We mark the claim as false as it is evident that fake videos are circulated to create vaccine hesitancy among people.
