Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'What Vaccines Are Doing Inside Peoples Bodies' -- It Shows A Simple At-Home Magnetic Slime Experiment Magnetic Slime

Does this video show graphene oxide? Does it show something that is happening inside people after they have had a COVID-19 vaccine and does this purportedly demonstrate why magnets and metal objects stick to people? No, that's not true: The video, made three years before the first COVID-19 case, is a DIY science item that shows how a magnetic "slime" can be made at home from several readily available ingredients. Typically iron oxide powder functions as the magnetic ingredient in a slime recipe. The video does not prove COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the USA contain graphene oxide.

The video was published on Bitchute by Jim_Crenshaw on August 15, 2021, titled "This is Graphene Oxide. This is what it is doing inside peoples bodies. Nasty stuff huh?" (archived here) which opened:

Lead Stories conducted a reverse image search using a still image taken from the Jim Crenshaw video posted to BitChute. Matching videos found on bing.com and yandex.com point to a video titled, "Crazy Magnetic Goo," which was posted on YouTube on November 7, 2016, years before COVID-19 vaccines were developed. Graphene, or graphene oxide is not one of the four ingredients listed for the "Crazy Magnetic Goo." It only includes:

4 ounces glue
β…“ cup water
2 tablespoons iron oxide
Β½ cup liquid starch

Lead Stories has already addressed several false claims that COVID-19 vaccines contain graphene oxide (here and here), that magnetic ingredients are added to the vaccine (here), and that people have become magnetized (here).
