Stainless Steel Fragments Found in Moderna Vaccine Shots

[gldstwmn]

The Japanese government has said that a batch of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine has been tainted by stainless steel.
Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced Wednesday that following an investigation by the Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, a fragment of manufacturing equipment had been found in the vaccine, the Kyodo news agency reported.

The agency said that with stainless steel being a common substance used for artificial valves of the heart, it was unlikely that the contamination posed any medical risk.

A batch of Moderna was suspended in Kanagawa Prefecture after a pharmacist had discovered black particles in one vial of the vaccine, the BBC reported on Wednesday.

Last week, Japan suspended the use of about 1.63 million Moderna doses due to contamination in part of a supply batch, Reuters reported. Kyodo did not specify in which batch stainless steel had been found. Newsweek has contacted Takeda for comment.

After last week's suspension, Moderna said there were no safety or efficacy issues around the vaccine and no other incident has been reported in other countries.

1. Aha, Bill Gates' microchips! I knew it!

[LisaL]

2. That doesn't apply to the vaccine being distributed in the US.

This happened in Japan, and the vaccine they got was from Spain.
US is not getting Moderna from Spain.

24. Oh okay..nt

[csziggy]

3. I'm surprised no one has confirmed those are the microchips

of course.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. First suspicion is foul play by an anti-vaxxer somewhere in the chain (nt)

[LisaL]

5. It's a production issue in Spain.

US is not getting Moderna vaccine from Spain.

6. If you remember Geritol the shot should also help with iron poor blood and it won't rust. nt

7. The nano-bots are already forming colonies

big enough to see with the naked eye....soon they will take over the world. SkyNet, Legion....what's next??

[lagomorph777]

8. The Grey Goo.

[Gruenemann]

9. That's what turns people magnetic!

[Klaralven]

14. That would depend on the composition and structure of the stainless steel

[NutmegYankee]

18. If you get into the low magnetic permeability of austenitic stainless steel, the joke is dead.

Engineers - killers of jokes.

[Klaralven]

19. Either you look for the catch or you wind up with the "oh, shit!"

[Celerity]

26. All ferritic, all martensitic, and most precipitation hardenable stainless steels are ferromagnetic

[fescuerescue]

10. This shouldn't be published

It will just give the anti-vaxxers more ammunition.

This was likely a very small batch.

[gldstwmn]

15. Japan has a surprisingly low vax rate.

This isn't going to help.

[totodeinhere]

17. No, I would never favor censorship. The news media should have every right to

cover this story. And antivaxxers don't need any more excuses anyway. They have already made up their sick minds.

[TheProle]

20. So it should have been covered up?

[fescuerescue]

21. Somethings are classified and should be classified

from the General public to prevent greater harm.

The government classifies harmful information EVERY SINGLE day.

[Celerity]

27. profoundly disagree, and the harm when the info was leaked would be exponentially greater

[fescuerescue]

28. There is nothing new or bad about classifying harmful information

Our government does it every day and every hour.

[Celerity]

29. Sorry, you are just dead wrong on this. It would blow up so much worse

once it was leaked. It would become a shitstorm and destroy the credibility of the government and the pharmaceutical firms.

You cannot suppress this type of info. Your paradigm of suppression is the stuff of authoritarian states, not a free and open democratic society. It is an advocation of paternalism to excessive degrees, and also could be construed as anti-whistblower.

Hard pass on this, and thankfully you have zero power to enforce your misguided views.

[fescuerescue]

30. Maybe you are right and maybe in wrong

That’s ok.

But your argument is from a practical one.

I’m saying that classification of harmful information is perfectly legal and is done to protect the population.

This is fully accepted and legally flushed out.

This sort of thing happens every single day.

We just happen to be talking about one story that was not classified away. I think it should have been, but I accept that you feel different.

What we don’t get to talk about, is the ones where the story is classified. Rest assured. They exist.

[genxlib]

11. Considering how thin the needles are now

I doubt you would even get any uptake into the syringe.

That has always been my point about the idea of microchips. The needles are way too small for that.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

12. You don't see any rust, do you?

[gldstwmn]

13. I got Pfizer and so far nothing exciting has happened to me.

I'm so disappointed.

[totodeinhere]

16. I have had two does of the Moderna vaccine with no issues.

But I hope that everyone in Japan who may have been exposed to the defective doses will be alright.

[Xoan]

22. Oh well ...

there's still plenty of chips in Ivermectin paste.

[helpisontheway]

23. Oh my goodness..exactly what my anti vaccine family member has

been saying..I’m sure Iwill hear about this tomorrow…

[Maru Kitteh]

25. How is Bill Gates supposed to stick me to the side of a Jewish Space Laser without

the stainless steel?
