“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.

Well vaccines certainly polarized the population

[–] Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Mechanism found!

Not a doctor. She's a fucking osteopath, ie a masseuse with delusions of grandeur

[–] bluu@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Trebuchet@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

My bad, I had no idea. I assumed it was a similar system to that in my country.

[–] itsAsin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

... a fucking osteopath without a license.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So not an osteopath.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Osteopaths in general are good and competent physicians, she’s just insane.

[–] PKMKII@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn all these vaccines have turned me into Magneto? Awesome!

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it’s your fault! You stole the iron from my body. The neurons in my head needs to eat that iron to stay healthy. You’re the reason I’m dumber than I used to be.

[–] nueonetwo@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also the reason I don't have any copper wiring left in my house, probably.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry that was my fault. I needed to replace my copper fillings in my teeth. My bad.

[–] girlfreddy@mastodon.social 3 points 1 year ago

@andrewta @nueonetwo

Your green teeth are cute tho.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

She can run for and win Ohio senate seat with that qualification*

  • as long as she runs with ‘R’ next to her name.

Makes me wonder if there's a /c/HermanCainAward...

[–] RampageDon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Be the change you want to see

[–] firewyre@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She probably shouldn't have driving or fishing licenses either.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Or a gun license!! Oh wait, it's Ohio.

[–] Ddhuud@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

In the minds of conspiracy theorists this validates her speech.

[–] qyron@lemmy.pt 6 points 1 year ago

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...

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

If vaccines cause magnesium then call me Magneto

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.

[–] reversebananimals@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Did she ask to speak to Ohio's manager?

[–] athos77@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I dunno, I mean, I could stick a key to my forehead when I was eight, I just needed to be a little sweaty.

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

How did she arrive here, at a conclusion that can be disproven by anyone, anywhere, anytime?

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know how we're expected to just take this seriously? Any conspiracy theorists should have more evidence than "physician said it makes you magnetic and got suspended"

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

Tiny bit of justice. I love it.
