“I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures all over the internet of people who have had these shots and now they’re magnetized,” Tenpenny said to the panel of lawmakers.

“They can put a key on their forehead and it sticks … There have been people who have long suspected there’s an interface, yet to be defined, an interface between what’s being injected in these shots and all of the 5G towers.”

The comments backfired. Gross’ bill stalled out after Tenpenny’s comments. And they sparked the investigation that would cost Tenpenny her license.

Nutter lost her license. Good.

    At least on paper, they suspended her not directly for being a loony, but for being actively hostile to their attempts to investigate what she was saying and why.

    Conspiracy theorists take note: They never attempted to “silence” her; they actually asked her to indicate in detail why she believed these things, and she twice refused to show up and explain. After the second time, they then suspended her license.

    While board members emphasized the punishment is connected to the procedural issues and not the bunk health claims, the medical board’s staff makes clear the basis for its inquiry in their formal report. They asked Tenpenny what evidence she had that vaccines make people magnetic or interface with cell towers, and for more information about the claim that major metro areas are “liquifying dead bodies and pouring them into the water supply.”

    Tenpenny failed to attend either of her two hearings before board staff. Her attorneys even failed to show up to the second. Forcing protracted litigation every time the board wants to interview physicians it regulates, he said, would render the body unable in practice to carry out its duties.

      Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO) are legitimate doctors (at least from my experience in the US healthcare system). They function identically to doctors of allopathic medicine (MD) with the rare addition of osteopathic manipulation. But their standards of training and credentialing are essentially the same. You’ll find crackpot DOs and MDs if you look for them.

    “They can put a key on their forehead and it sticks …

    What kind of people can’t do that? Has she even tried it herself?

      People who palm a glue stick when they need to prove that keys that are mostly made of brass and nickel will stick to them “like a magnet”.

      I think she’s just made up the magnetized thing, I’ve not heard anyone else make that claim before, you know because it’s easily disprovable.

      Also why would anyone deliberately magnetize the population what’s the benefits supposed to be?

      I wish these idiots would come up with conspiracy theories at least had some internal consistency.

    Their liquefying dead bodies and dumping them in the water supply!

    Oh those companies that are dumping carcinogens and chemicals that remain in your body forever? That’s fine, they’re just businessers doing business.

    Being slightly magnetic could prove useful: never again would cutlery fall from your hands!

    And being capable of interfacing with 5G antennas? Becoming my own personal signal booster?

    ah, foiled again…

    Years ago I shot a guy named Tenpenny and threw him and his aide from his tower after he made me nuke a small town because it was a blight on his horizon.

    Since then I never trusted anyone named tenpenny.
