Vaccinationscenter i Japan har funnit främmande ämnen i Modernas vacciner som visar sig vara magnetiska. Moderna hävdar att det är ofarligt och skyller på ett produktionsfel.
"About 1.6 million doses of Moderna's coronavirus vaccine have been taken out of use in Japan because of contamination reported in some vials, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said early Thursday.
Several vaccination centers have reported that vaccine vials contained foreign matter, according to an announcement from the ministry, which added it will seek to minimize the impact of the withdrawal on the country's inoculation program.
The ministry said later in the day that the substance that had been mixed in may have been metal. "It's a substance that reacts to magnets," a ministry official said. "It could be metal.""

Tydligen tog det över en vecka från det att rapporter började strömma in till dess att myndigheterna agerade och stoppade användandet av Moderna.
"Japan's defence ministry, which operates a mass vaccination site in Osaka, said shots from the lot in question, which contains 565,400 doses, had been used in the western prefecture between Aug. 6 and Aug. 20, but it did not say how many people were affected."

Det finns kanske lite sanning i alla magnethistorier då.. undrar hur många av dessa doser som har getts runt om i världen utan att någon har ifrågasatt innehållet.
