Magnetogenetics, Vaccine Magnet Claims

The discussion addresses viral claims of magnets sticking to the arms of vaccinated individuals. This is linked to the concept of "magnetogenetics," a field of study involving the use of magnetic fields to control neural pathways in mice. A 2016 study from the University of Virginia is cited, which detailed the creation of a "Magneto" gene used to manipulate the pleasure centers in rodent brains.
