I first heard about it about a week after the first dose and tried it then ... no magnetic sticking. I thought the magnet might be too heavy, so I cut a 1/2 inch by one inch piece out of a Dominos Pizza refrigerator magnet, and still no sticking. But I also figured that even with the full-sized magnet, I should have felt some pulling at the skin when the sucker got close to it and touched it - but nothing. In fact, that'd be a pretty good test - use a heavy-duty magnet and see if the skin pulls outward to greet it.
Anyway, four weeks later, I went in for the second dose and brought the piece of magnet strip with me. They humored me and let me try to get it to stick on the syringe with the vaccine in it ... no sticking. And I tried it on the injection site daily for a week afterwards ... no sticking.
It didn't work with my lady, any of our respective offspring, or any of our friends we've mentioned it to either.
And I still don't shy away from

There are some things from Big Pharma that I can't take - like statins for instance. My kids still joke about the Alzheimer's-like symptoms that Lipitor gave me. But I really didn't notice anything with the Moderna vaccine, other than injection site pain and a bit of fatigue.
